I have the same problem as you discribe.

So I went and created the a small example code to show that I had this problem
also.
But when I created the simpel example(template four) and launched it, it
worked.
But when I did the same thing with an other excel(template one) it seemed to
give an error(see comment attachments).
I'm not getting this error if there's already a validation in the excell.
But when you open the file the validations I tried to add are not there and the
validation that was in the template is also gone.
The 'template one' that I uploaded here, is without a validation thus with the
error. 
You can add a validation manuel to see what I just told here.

Why it works in 'template four' and not in 'template one' I don't know.

Maybe with my files you can find out what goes wrong.

One of the templates

This template is just an empty excel with one sheet.

 --> (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=22174)
One of the templates

The template has some other info in it.
This template gives the follow excel error log after running the code on it :

-----------------------------
Microsoft Excel File Repair Log

Errors were detected in file
'C:\javadev\tools\eclipse-3.3\workspace\ProcExcell\etc\output\procfour.xls'
The following is a list of repairs:

Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible. Excel
attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost
or corrupted.

>From what I understand, you created a workbook in Excel 2003, and opened it in
POI, then added data validation (by calling
HSSFSheet.addValidationData(HSSFDataValidation) etc), and saved.  Then when
re-opening in Excel, no changes were apparent.

Is this correct?

It's hard to tell what is going wrong so far, bug it might be worth trying out
a recent build, just in case this is a bug which has recently been fixed.  If
not, please upload the offending (input) spreadsheet and some sample java code
to produce this bug.

Created an attachment (id=22172)
 --> (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=22172)
The class with the actual code

To swap between the two templates just change the name of the inputstream.
Also the directory where you place the templates needs to be changed.
