Hi Wade,
Your problem is in your -Djava.ext.dirs setting. Replace:

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/jre/ 
lib/ext

with:

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/lib/ext

Similar problem with endorsed.dirs, but endorsed.dirs will be empty,  
anyway... Note that the above is not setting -javaagent. So, OpenJPA  
will not be operating in its normal mode. Start a server using  
'geronimo.sh run', will start the server as follows:

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home/bin/java  
-javaagent:/Users/kevan/Servers/geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.1.4/bin/ 
jpa.jar -Dorg.apache.geronimo.home.dir=/Users/kevan/Servers/geronimo- 
tomcat6-javaee5-2.1.4 -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/Users/kevan/Servers/ 
geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.1.4/lib/endorsed:/System/Library/Frameworks/ 
JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home/lib/endorsed -Djava.ext.dirs=/Users/ 
kevan/Servers/geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.1.4/lib/ext:/System/Library/ 
Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home/lib/ext - 
Djava.io.tmpdir=var/temp -jar /Users/kevan/Servers/geronimo-tomcat6- 
javaee5-2.1.4/bin/server.jar
