Anderson,
Thanks, I have been looking around and it seems that all the possible solutions are using the same api calls to do their work. I found the following and can confirm that it works.

Given that the firebird config option FileSystemCacheSize should also be using this api call I am not sure why it does not work when these other solutions do. I wonder if this is a firebird bug?
