The path to the database on Jvzlinux (10.0.0.3) as seen from Win 2000 Pro PC
called JVZ06
\\Jvzlinux\Primary\files\db\bx
Contents of a batch file called test.bat in the firebird bin folder on JVZ06
gbak -b 10.0.0.3:/Primary/files/db/bx/bx.fdb
10.0.0.3:/Primary/files/db/bx/bx.fbk
When I run this on JVZ06 nothing happens.
Greetings
JVZ

Use the entire local path on the Linux machine, eg:

/primary/etc/db/bx/bx.fbk

Or whatever your local path is. But, use Linux notation (woops, forgot
the slash thing) and everything.
