I had this problem recently.
I had just upgraded from postgres 8 to 9, but did not get the jdbc
driver updated.

I read a posting that the bytea datatype was refactored in version 9,
and one indication was that twice as many bytes came out as went in...
this seems to be the case for you, so try looking at the version of the
jdbc driver and make sure you have a matching driver for your instance.

your code for the prepareStatement is how I am doing it and it now works
perfectly, since I updated my driver.

hope this helps.
