I can't reproduce this:

# /etc/init.d/firebird2.1-super start
Starting Firebird 2.1 server manager...done.
# ls -la /tmp
общо 16
drwxrwxrwt  4 root root 4096  1 фев 15,51 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 11 авг 17,00 ..
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root 4096  1 фев 15,10 .ICE-unix
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root 4096  1 фев 15,10 .X11-unix

It seems the firebird binary you use is not the one from the Debian 
package. The packaged firebird uses /usr/lib/firebird/2.1/run/ (which 
is a symlink to /var/run/firebird/2.1, which is created in the init 
script):

# /etc/init.d/firebird2.1-super stop
Stopping Firebird 2.1 server manager...done.
# mv /usr/lib/firebird/2.1/run{,-away}
# /etc/init.d/firebird2.1-super start
Starting Firebird 2.1 server manager...Could not open 
/usr/lib/firebird/2.1/run/isc_guard1.tata for write
check /var/log/firebird2.1.log file for errors
can not start server
done.
