Thanks for your reply Aaron, Yes, I renamed the jar to mysql.jar. What are the reasons for mandating the use of the version-number?

But it may be the same underlying problem. What did you name the MySQL JAR? You should be sure it has a dash and then a version number in the name (e.g. mysql-jdbc-3.1.4.jar not just mysql.jar). If you're in doubt, you can delete the copy you put in there and have Geronimo download the MySQL driver for you (use the download link from the screen in the JDBC pool wizard where you're selecting the JDBC JAR) and it will install it into the repository automatically.
