Thanks for working on this. I have had success reading .mdb files but
not .gdb files. I typically use rgdal for this sort of thing. I was
under the impression that GDAL support for .gdb files started with
1.9.

I am very interested in this issue since I am a regular user of ArcGIS
(teaching) and R (research).
