Read/write rights on database file.
Try to see the rights on the file with the problematic user logged on.
(right-click on file, choose 'Properties' on tab 'Security' you must see
the user's name (or group) having Read/write - or, better 'Full
control', checked on database file. IIRC, only the FB2.0 does
impersonalisation and only on TCP/IP layer (ie. on FB1.5 the user must
have rights on the db file).
