Are you using classic mode or super mode? I have no experience with
classic mode but for super mode, the firebird user or group needs
permission to enter the directory (rx for / and /media) and to alter the
file (rw for media/VINACCIA.FDB). I suggest that you change the
permission to 664 and the group of the file to firebird.
