<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I ran into the same problem. Luckily,
my data provider re-exported the 4.5GB GDB file for me, using the
newer ArcGIS 10.<br>
Here's a heads-up for two <i>other </i>potential problems,
though:<br>
<ol>
<li>The second GDB still wouldn't load because the data were
saved as having a "custom" SRS (spatial ref sys). The FileGDB
utility that ogr2ogr uses -- and as provided by Esri -- will
only work on a "standard" SRS. Luckily, my data provider again
(cheerfully?) re-exported the 4.5GB GDB file for me, using a
standard SRS!</li>
<li>There was a problem with OGR in the change from 1.9.1
(2012/05/15) to 1.9.2 (2012-10-08), when using FileGDB.
The ogr2ogr process won't work using version 1.9.2 -- but will
when using 1.9.1. (The cause: incompatible Visual Studio
compilations of ogr2ogr and fileGDB.)</li>
</ol>
Hope that helps save you most of the time that i wasted ;-)<br>
