They also have data divided into feature datasets within the GDB, so it sounds like GDAL can't acces the dataset groups.  Unless I'm missing an option (the GDAL docs for the FileGDB format don't mention datasets)?

Do you have non-standard SRS in the layers?  FileGDB driver can't see
some layers if that is the case, see:

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4578

However, with 1.11, there is an OpenFileGDB driver that should be able
to pick up the layers in that case (and read version 9 gdb).

http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_openfilegdb.html

I doubt the FileGDB driver can write them though, and OpenFileGDB is
read-only.  You may be able to reproject them though.

If the SRS issue isn't the case, trying 1.11.0 and OpenFileGDB wouldn't hurt.
