it seems that OpenFileGDB directory isn't recognized. you could file an
enhancement ticket for this.

a quick workaround with ogrinfo and grep. :-)

tested with an example fgdb downloaded somewhere from the net.

check the layers in the fgdb:
---
ogrinfo RH_SampleData.gdb
INFO: Open of `RH_SampleData.gdb'
      using driver `FileGDB' successful.
1: Route (None)
2: Centerline_Sequence (None)
3: AADT (None)
4: Access_Control (None)
5: Base_Thickness (None)
6: Crashes (None)
7: F_System (None)
8: Speed_Limit (None)
9: Redline__ATTACH (None)
10: Centerline (3D Multi Line String)
11: Calibration_Point (3D Measured Point)
12: Redline (Multi Line String)
13: LRSN_MilePoint (3D Measured Multi Line String)
14: LRSE_Access_Control (3D Measured Multi Line String)
15: LRSE_Crashes (3D Measured Point)
16: LRSE_Speed_Limit (3D Measured Multi Line String)
17: LRSE_Functional_Class (3D Measured Multi Line String)
18: LRSI_MilePoint_Intersections (Point)
19: LRSN_RefMarker (3D Measured Multi Line String)
20: LRSE_Base_Thickness (3D Measured Multi Line String)
21: LRSE_AADT (3D Measured Multi Line String)

check the srs from one of the layers:

grep the srs info into a text file
----
ogrinfo RH_SampleData.gdb LRSE_Crashes -al -so | grep -A22 -B0 PROJCS >
my.prj
---
and in the GRASS start up wizard choose:

Read projection and datum terms from a Well Known Text (WKT).prj file.

all done.
