Forget about using the UNC naming and conect to the other machine via it's
ip address. Your conection string should be something like
IpOfMachine2:LocalPathToDataBaseInMachine2. For example:
10.0.0.2:c:\MyDatabases\MyDatabase.gdb.

This kind of corruption wont happen with Firebird. It was a bug already
fixed in it.
