Why would SYSTEM (or any other user) need rights to the directory? Clients
talk to the Fb server process via TCP/IP port. That is, if you're not
using another protocol... If you're using NetBeui: switch to tcp/ip, and
<server>:<drive>:<fullpath>\<dbname> will work fine, like:
SERVERNAME:C:\data\program\database\test.fdb (if C: is the drive letter _as
seen on the server_ (not the client!)).
