I think you have the same problem I did a while back. A colleague of
mine figured it out. There is a partial answer here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/851758/java-enums-jpa-and-postgres-enums-how-do-i-make-them-work-together

Don't have time to dig up and clean up the actual code we use now but
I can if you'd like (and you're not in a hurry).
