Joshua, does the user you are connecting with have permission to select from the view geography_columns (introduced when support for geographies was added)?
Can you "select * from geography_columns" as this user? For GeoServer to recognise geometry columns in views, they must be registered in geometry_columns. I suspect a similar rule may apply to geography columns. Kind regards, Ben.
