Publishing fails during 'committing deployment': cannot execute SQL Query

Question

I've been bouncing my head against this issue for the last couple of hours now and I can't seem to come up with a solution. I'm trying to setup a Tridion Install SP1 HR1, with SQL database.

As far as I can tell, the http transport protocol should work, as changing anything related to this protocol still comes up with the same error.

As soon as a page (pretty simple one, too) hits 'committing deployment', the publish fails due to the following error:

2013-01-14 16:49:22,351 ERROR DeployPipelineExecutor - Original stacktrace for transaction: tcm:0-16-66560

My storage_conf.xml looks like this

<Storages><Storage Type="persistence" Id="sqlserver" dialect="MSSQL" Class="com.tridion.storage.persistence.JPADAOFactory">
            <Pool Type="jdbc" Size="5" MonitorInterval="60" IdleTimeout="120" CheckoutTimeout="120" />

                <Property Name="password" Value="secret" />
            </DataSource>
        </Storage>

        <!--

            <Root Path="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\staging.dev" />
        </Storage>
    </Storages>    </Global>
<!-- If no item type mappings are defined within ItemTypes or if storages on a lower level do not exist then the storage defined by defaultStorageId attribute will be used.

<ItemTypes defaultStorageId="sqlserver" cached="false">
    <Item typeMapping="Page" cached="false" storageId="iisFile"/>
    <Item typeMapping="Binary" storageId="iisFile" cached="false"/>
</ItemTypes>

I've had some interesting issues with the Java install before, but got around that. I've even installed the .jar files from another machine that had a proper HTTP transport connection going and installed these over the ones I had, but that didn't work either. I also included the -assumingly- correct SQLDB4 -jar file. I have no clue what is causing this. The database connection seems to exist just fine as altering the logins into bogus returns a "no connection possible" or somesuch error.

any help would be fantastic.

EDIT

After Sea_gull said to enable root logging a lot of errors turned up. This is quite a list, but here are the most important parts:
