If FlameRobin can open it without exceptions, what makes you think it's corrupted?

windowsXP + "E:\dbfile.gdb" - the well-known, documented-to-death case is an obvious cause. Try changing the file suffix to ".fdb". And don't try to start your app if FlameRobin or another instance of your app is already connected to the database: that will cause an i/o error too.
