Because you told the IB_Connection about the SERVER-Name already.
The client can't create a database, only the server can.

And what I tried to explain is that the server can only create it when
the path is local to itself. It camn't be on mapped network drive (seen
from the server).

Because I had some problems with that - although they were mainly
because I used project groups in Delphi (and if both projects have got
datamodules then strange things (not only in IBO, all through Delphi!)
happen).
