It's because Windows has crappy security. :-)

In Firebird config file (/etc/firebird/2.0/firebird.conf under Linux)
you can setup what directories are allow do have database in. By
default I think not all directories are allowed. It's the
"DatabaseAccess" setting.

Also you need to be sure about your User and Group access writes to
the database file (*.fdb) itself and the write access to the directory
containing the *.fdb files.

Your problem has nothing to do with Classic vs Super Server installs.
It's a permission issue - that's all.
