Use either IB 6.0.2 or 6.0.1.6 or there are Open Source successors.

Hmm i don't think this is possible but ... why not...
The problem is that you've made backup copyes of database file - this way
you copy an open file that is not guaranteed to be consistent. You have to
use gbak utility to make backups correctly. This is the case with all
databases - you cannot simply copy the files!
