I just now noticed that you have "hsqldb:file:<path to the.odb>" in the
Datasource URL area.  How is a Base, i.e. .odb, file used as the data
source when the data is stored in a standalone HSQLDB database?  The
data is not stored in an .odb file but rather is managed by the
standalone HSQLDB database.

Perhaps I misunderstand your posting?
