Just so the list knows, I've asked SirsiDynix to respond to this issue.

                  It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn
off!

Hi Lynn,
Thanks for this info.  I've found that gbak (used in rebuild) is in
/opt/firebird/bin rather than /usr/interbase/bin, so I made that
change in my rebuild.sh.
If I get the ipacadmin.gdb transferred over (per Casey's
instructions), I'll be running rebuild this weekend.  Keeping my
fingers crossed...
