Hmmm.... I'm about out of ideas....
1. Not to insult your intelligence, but you are testing this in some kind of servlet or JSP or other web method - right? This would not work outside of Geronimo's web container unless you set up the context factory and provider URL manually.
2. Since you didn't mention EJBs, I assume you're not trying this behind an EJB facade. If you were, that would make the configuration different.
3. Other than that, I'm wondering if Geronimo is not setting up the environment properly for the InitialContext. Typically application servers set the environment variables that specify the initial context factory, and provider URL. If Geronimo is not doing this you'll have to do it yourself - but I think that would be considered a bug in Geronimo.
I really doubt this is an iBATIS problem - but you might try a test of trying the JNDI lookup in a plain old servlet without using iBATIS just to make sure.

I followed that page to the letter. I know that it picks up the data source, because originally there was a problem with the deployment not seeing it. The specific issue seems to be trying to get the initial context in iBATIS. It seems to come back as empty.
