3.0.6 is quite old, you might want to consider upgrading, although it
sounds more like you have a CLASSPATH problem. Did you restart OOo after
you configured it?

"Version Guidelines

When connecting to MySQL server version 4.1 or newer, it is best to use
MySQL Connector/J version 3.1, as it has full support for features in
the newer versions of the server, including Unicode characters, views,
stored procedures and server-side prepared statements.

While Connector/J version 3.0 will connect to MySQL server, version 4.1
or newer, and implements Unicode characters and the new authorization
mechanism, Connector/J 3.0 will not be updated to support new features
in current and future server versions."
