David,

Ah thanks.  Indeed they are not supported and it is hard to imagine they
will be supported for a while.  ESRI has indicated in the past that they
intend to provide an open mechanism to access the file geodatabase and that
is still likely to happen at some point.  However, I think this would be
quite a few months away at best.

Best regards,
