Barry,

Did you take care of this? I recall seeing some messages regarding
timestamps a few days ago

I found a failure in a JDBC driver of 7.2b4.
  (1) It does not support timestamptz type
  (2) Exception occurs by timestamp without time zone type
I attach a patch correcting the first failure.
You can confirm it in example.psql as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
$ java -cp postgresql-examples.jar:postgresql.jar example.psql
jdbc:postgresql:r-matuda r-matuda pass PostgreSQL psql example v6.3 rev
1

Connecting to Database URL = jdbc:postgresql:r-matuda
Connected to PostgreSQL 7.2b4

[1] select 'now'::timestamp;
timestamptz
No class found for timestamptz.
[1] [1] select 'now'::timestamp with time zone;
timestamptz
No class found for timestamptz.
[1] [1] select 'now'::timestamp without time zone;
timestamp
Exception caught.
