I hate answering my own questions: The problem was with seam setup and confusion between catalog/schema and the connection string. It's unfortunate the stack trace truncated both the errors at '.users' further sifting of the log revealed the queries were being constucted like '... from cat.cat.users' where the catlog was being repeated twice due to my confusion between the purpose of catalog/schema and the connection string.
