Yes, you are missing something. Under Fb 2.0 there is only one way
to overwrite an existing database (or, in other words, to get the
same behaviour as gbak -r[eplace_database] in Fb 1.5.x and
before): you must use

gbak -r[ecreate_database] O[VERWRITE]

That is, gbak -REP now resolves to gbak -c[reate_database] and will
therefore fail if the database already exists.
