What's this file? It should be fbembed.dll renamed to fbclient.dll. If it's not, then it's the regular client API and you're getting the error because there's no server.

Also I'd want to check that your application (either via path name or using an alias) is connecting to a database path and not an unqualified file name for the DB. The server is embedded but it's still a server, not a file jockey.
