There are some things you should observe:

1 - Use the same version of FB server in the computer you move the 'fdb' to that you use in the 'source' computer;
2 - Before copying the 'fdb' stop the FB server service;

Another thing I would tell you is that you should use 'gbak' to backup your source 'fdb'  and then, in the destination
computer, use 'gbak' to restore and recreate the 'fdb'.

That is correct.

For reasons that I do not understand, the simple method of simply copying the FDB from one machine to another does not work. When I try to attach to that database, it reports "file not found", which I assume is a spurious error code.

But there already is a small (example) database file on that machine that I *can* attach to. I can also restore into it. So if I can get nbackup to work, that provides a way to move the data over.
