As with any jdbc problem the standard advice is to upgrade to the latest 
stable version of the driver (the 7.4 series) available from here 
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html which is backwards compatible 
with 7.3 servers and see if the problem persists.

One of the things that we played around with for a while before agreeing 
on how to handle it was the case of the name given and the name in the 
database.  I don't recall what we did in 7.3.2, but currently you must 
match the case exactly with the server's name ie MYTABLE won't match 
mytable.  Another thing to try would be to put just "%" as the table name 
and see what happens.
