Assuming that the default-database-plan.xml has some resemblance to the 
one we supply, it's a plan for a j2ee module, so you need to supply the 
module as a command line argument also, such as

java -jar ../../bin/deployer.jar --user system --password manager 
deploy default-database-plan.xml 
~/.maven/repository/tranql/rars/tranql-connector-derby-embed-xa-1.0.rar

Leaving out the j2ee artifact you are trying to deploy will result in 
the error you are seeing.  If you are copying the default-database-plan 
we supply you may want to change the configID in the plan since this 
plan is pre-deployed into the config-store that comes with geronimo.

The tranql connectors should work fine for your proposed application.

Hope this gets you farther,
