How about:

c. Modify Firebird source code, before it tries to create the database
file, check for directory existence, and then create it. It seems
exactly what you need and any decent C/C++ programmer should be able to
implement this functionality quickly. ;)

One question though. "firebird" user usually has no privileges on *any*
directory in the filesystem by default. How would it be able to create
the sub-directory then? After setting up firebird you have to give it
rights to some directory, why not create the directory as well at that
point?
