Is the # really there?

"Other sources" is only for units, that the compiler should not find,
but only the IDE. See here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:_Compiler_Options#Other_sources

If I understand your text correct you have this file layout:

H:\#Projects\Lazarus_FPC\GuioUtils\
  xyz.lpk
  GDatabase\
    GDatabaseCheck.pas
  GForms\
    gdefaultform.pas

Then your "Other Unit Files" in the compiler options of your package
should be: 

GDatabase;GForms

Note: Order and trailing path delimiters do not matter.
