I'm not actually sure about this, but would the inclusion of a \ character
simply refer to 'escaping' the following character? I have to do this with
PHP all the time, but have you tried putting double \ characters in there so
that it gets a literal \ in the database name?

Ie. '127.0.0.1:c:\\Program Files\\Firebird\\Bin\\TMS.GDB';

Just a thought. I'm not an expert in this, but your missing colon stuck out
quickly.
