I think Geoff's "ready answer" is on the button. You'll get these errors
when trying to read ODS 10 blobs using a lower gds32.dll/gds.so. Actually,
for IB_SQL use (sorry, I don't use Workbench) I keep several versions of
gds32.dll in my system dir...gds32_5_6.dll, gds32_ib60.dll, gds32_ib65.dll
and of course gds32.dll for my default distro - Firebird 1. I just compile
one "version" of IB_SQL for each server.

Of course, most people don't need four different versions on one machine. I
know of others who do it the other way around - they have one version of
IB_SQL and go in and change the names of the libs. I don't do it that way
because I can never say for sure that gds32.dll isn't already loaded in the
system...

When I get the errors you reported, I know I'm using the wrong version of
IB_SQL <g>
