That's a FileGDB not (Access is Personal GeoDatabase). If you have an ArcGIS
Arcview license (big "if" around this part of town ;-p ), you should be able
to use ogr2ogr with the trunk version pretty soon. I submitted a patch
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3332 that will be committed by one of the
GDAL committers at some point. I was thinking about creating a release
windows dll and putting it out there in case anyone needed it. Let me know
if this would be useful for you and I would be happy to produce one. For the
*nix build, I would need to get the ArcGIS SDK, and I am sure someone else
can pick you that work.
