This is your problem. You can't connect to a mapped drive AT ALL. The
connection string must be an absolute file path as seen locally by the server.

If "U:" is ***also*** a partition designation on the server (i.e. not a
mapping to a partition that has a different name) then the correct TCP/IP
string for remote connections will be:

servername:U:\absolute\path\to\database\MyDatabase.fdb
