Spring (3.0.5) + Transactions + postgreSQL/GreenPlum

The long and the short of it is that I am getting an exception when using declarative transactions with Spring + postgreSQL (GreenPlum variant): org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Cannot change transaction read-only property in the middle of a transaction.

My stack is:

Java 1.7.0_17
Tomcat 7.0
Spring 3.0.5*
Apache DBCP 1.4
postgresql-9.0-801.jdbc4.jar
GreenPlum 4.2.2.4 (Commercial postgreSQL variant)

* I get this issue whether using declarative OR programmatic tx mgmt

My error is:

I will update this post with the pertinent configs/code but simply, I am using a VERY basic code example and ALSO there are numerous hits on google with the exact same issue. I highly suspect it is isolated to GreenPlum but may also be isolated to GreenPlum+DBCP. The problem is, none of the web posts have a solution... if you do, please comment on my post! :) Thanks
