HQSLDB -- File-Based Database Empty Even Though Files Have Content? Why? - spring

Question

Folks,
My Issue
Why is an HSQLDB file-based database I have pre-populated with a schema and data not populated when I connect to it later?
I think I'm missing some small, but HUGELY IMPORTANT configuration.
My Environment
HSQLDB setup with the Maven Sql plugin and Maven Liquibase plugin.
Spring / Hibernate Webapp
Steps to Populate the Database and Run the App
Run the Sql Maven plugin to create 3 schemas in the HSQL database
Run the Maven liquibase plugin, populating with ddl and lookup data
The jdbc url I'm using within Maven to setup hsql is: jdbc:hsqldb:file:${project.basedir}/target/db/build;shutdown=true.
It translates to: jdbc:hsqldb:file:/Users/myHomeDir/work/myProj/target/db/build;shutdown=true
I have confirmed the the hsql database files are created and populated -- insert statements in the build.script file are present as expected. I can connect to the database using RazorSQL and see the data and tables present.
Running the App
I've configured my DataSource in my Spring config as follows:
<bean class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close" id="dataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver" />
<property name="url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:file:/Users/myHomeDir/work/myProj/target/db/build;shutdown=true" />
<property name="username" value="sa" />
<property name="password" value="" />
I've fired up the app and see that Hibernate/Spring makes the connection to the database. A database.lck file is created so I know the app has made a connection. (Also, I've ensured that RazorSQL is shutdown and not using the database at the same time).
The Error
The error indicates that the database entities don't exist:

Just to make sure, can't it be caused by conflict of table name (USER) with SQL keyword?
Try to use different table name instead, or at least configure Hibernate to escape it (#Table(name = "\"user\"")).
