Then it cannot possibly work. Firebird does *not* support back-porting databases. It was found to be possible (sometimes) to backup and restore between 2.1 and 2.0, only if the v.2.0 gbak was running in the v.2.1 server to make the backup.

If you have a copy of The Firebird Book Second Edition, you can read up on this in Chapter 5, Migration Issues.
