As mentioned in an earlier reply before, GRASS GIS uses for import gdal
/ogr. 

so have a look at www.gdal.org and check the 2 drivers for this filegdb
format how gdal /ogr handles this format. 

The next step may be :

- ogrinfo your_filegdb_folder to see if your gdal /ogr installation is
capable to read this kind of data and if yes, to see which layer(s) are
inside this data
