a further clarification, you need to specify the full path and name of
the jdbc jar file in the classpath, its not enough to drop
postgresql-8.4-701.jdbc4.jar into a dir thats in the classpath as it
won't recognize the filename.

btw, you only need one of the jdbc drivers, you listed several different
ones.
