Re: [gdal-dev] FileGDB Driver coordinate system support
Thank you Michael and Donavan for pointing me in the correct direction. I've found out why my 3005 file GDB would not work. I had previously downloaded data from the BC province and so when I transformed the data from 4326 to 3005, I just used the projection in my Favorites, which was the province's BC Albers projection. It turns out that the province's BC Albers has a different projection name that ESRI's definition of BC Albers. The projection parameters are identical, but the province's projection name is PCS_Albers, whereas ESRI's accepted BC Albers is called NAD 1983 CSRS BC Environmental Albers (Projected Coordinate System National Grids Canada NAD 1983 CSRS BC Environmental Albers). Once I redefined the projection to be that of the accepted ESRI's BC Albers, the geodatabase imported successfully.

Maybe you were just missing the input layer? But the file you get from running that command should work for importing to postgis.

The ESRI FileGDB api only supports certain projections, BC Albers (epsg:3005) is evidently not one of them. Its in ESRI API issue.
