It is not possible with any version of InterBase. The path must always
be the path to a local (to the server) physical drive. If you upgrade
to InterBase 7.5 you can use server side aliases to accomplish what you
want. With server side aliases the path is replaced with and alias
name. If you move the database all you have to change is the path for
that alias which is done in a table on the server.
