I’ve found the MongoDB integration to Clojure to be really good for most of what I wanted for my app. With the Congomongo driver, you very strongly tick off the first two points, but I don’t think it will go so well with your other constraints.
Mongo explicitly excludes transactions (http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Developer+FAQ#DeveloperFAQ-HowdoIdotransactions%2Flocking%3F) and instead provides support for atomic updates on individual documents. If you can fit your data model for your transaction into a single document you may be okay. This seems to be a more common schema for NoSQL type DBs, where the documents themselves are quite large, rather than lots of smaller entries joined in many tables for a relational DB.
