Then it might be a security related issue. Either at file system level
or due to the DatabaseAccess parameter in firebird.conf.

- Are you running Classic or SuperServer?
- Under which user is Firebird running?
- As an application or service?
- Has the user proper rights in the Firebird folder (incl. sub-folders)?
- Is the DatabaseAccess parameter in firebird.conf set to a specific value?
