For a quick test, what happens, when you first connect to the database
with e.g. a TIB_Connection component and then execute the code?

AFAIK, the IBOAdmin components have a weird IF condition somewhere where
it checks if the client library has been loaded. It for sure gets loaded
when being connected to the database.
