Mark, 

I found this on the HSQLDB website:

-------
Readonly connection and database support

Connections can be set to readonly using the command SET 
READONLY [TRUE|FALSE] or using the method 
Connection.setReadOnly(boolean readonly). Additionally the whole 
database can be put in read-only mode by manually adding the line 
'readonly=true' to the .properties file. All connections are then 
automatically readonly. The database files will then be opened in 
readonly mode, and it is thus possible to create a CD with this 
database. Other variations, allow modifiable readonly database 
(changes are discarded at shutdown) or inclusion of a database in the 
application JAR. 
------

Does it help you?  When I posted a issue about read-only databases, 
the reply said that they thought there was no problem with HSQLDB.  
Perhaps you have one of these options set.

Tony
