Based on your question, it doesn't look like you fell victim to this particular pitfall, but this thread ended up helping me nail down the issue, so I am recording the solution here for posterity since it may help others with the same problem.

I also found that when I tried to open my database with the H2 console that I got what appeared to be a blank H2 database (basically, just an INFORMATION_SCHEMA table). While double-checking that I got the name of the DB correct (mydb.mv.db), I discovered that the H2 console had created a second database file, mydb.mv.db.mv.db. Odd.

It turns out that the H2 Console expects you to omit the suffix .mv.db from the filename. Since I hadn't, it was looking for mydb.mv.db.mv.db. Changing the JDBC string to jdbc:h2:mydb solved the problem and I could then open the file from the H2 Console.
