downloading image blobs

Hello,
I am having a similary problem that I was having when I was trying to
upload an image to the database. I am already able to upload blobs into
the database but I cannot download them.
I get the error 'inv_open: large object 12992 not found', which I assume
means that the statement should be in a transaction, but it is and it
still outputs the error.
Here is my code:
        con.setAutoCommit(false);
        Statement statement = con.createStatement();
        ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("select image from
userpreferences where username='"+user+"'");
        if(rs == null) return null;
        rs.next();
        InputStream is = rs.getBinaryStream("image");     <----- This is
where the error is thrown
        JimiReader reader = Jimi.createJimiReader(is);
        image = reader.getImage();
        con.commit();
        con.close();
        return new ServerMessage(new JimiImageSerializer(image));
Here is my error stack trace:

Any ideas?
