If Firebird is running as a service (as is the default of the
installer), then it won't have access to this folder.

I'd strongly suggest to put the database outside of a user folder (also
don't put it in Program Files or Windows folder), and make sure the user
running the Firebird service has sufficient rights on that folder.
