Uhm... I *do* hope, the *first* line starts with '#' and there is *no*
line starting with an '-' char. Cut-n-paste from the terminal would be
the best to see this, please do not surround it with markers.

The second command can only work, with firebird running.

Anyways, the error message is kinda strange. Maybe shell quoting
problems? As you are running FreeBSD (just remembered that bit): yeah,
it could matter. ;)

What is your default shell? What is sh on your system? (sh is the bash
on most GNU/Linux systems)

Please post the output of the following commands:

$ ls -la /bin/sh
$ ls -la /bin/bash

Have firebird running and then issue:

$ bash /usr/X11R6/bin/firebird -remote 'openURL(http://gnome.org, new-tab)'


Kinda puzzled...
