The cvs driver has been tightened up to default to TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY
ResultSets per spec to try and increase the number of queries we can use
cursor based fetches on.  Since it is a TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY ResultSet your
getFirst() call fails because that only works on scrollable ResultSets.  
I don't think the TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY default should apply to the MetaData
where the results are usually small and we want to allow the most
flexibility in navigating them.
