PreparedStatement.executeBatch() error? 7.3

The following code doesn't work, but if in place of doing an addBatch
loop with an executeBatch(), I do an executeUpdate each time it does
work. I get a parse error from the db server:

ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "'1998CF43'" at character 4202

this corresponds to the first value. I'm using the jdbc3 jar for this.

 PreparedStatement pStatement = connection.prepareStatement("insert into case_data_store values (?,?,?,?)");
        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(4096);

        for (int current_chunk = 0; current_chunk < chunk_count; current_chunk++){

        pStatement.setString(1,values.get("CASENUMBER").toString());
        pStatement.setString(2,values.get("NCIC").toString());
        pStatement.setInt(3,current_chunk);
        pStatement.setBytes(4,baos.toByteArray());
        pStatement.addBatch();
        //pStatement.executeUpdate();

        }

        pStatement.executeBatch();



This is the stack trace:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1
