Calum, I do not know about Java and jdbc, but had similiar problems with various Python-Database adapters. Have you double-checked that true and false are valid options? at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/libpq-connect.html you can read sslmode This option determines whether or with what priority an SSL connection will be negotiated with the server. There are four modes: disable will attempt only an unencrypted SSL connection; allow will negotiate, trying first a non-SSL connection, then if that fails, trying an SSL connection; prefer (the default) will negotiate, trying first an SSL connection, then if that fails, trying a regular non-SSL connection; require will try only an SSL connection. If PostgreSQL is compiled without SSL support, using option require will cause an error, while options allow and prefer will be accepted but libpq will not in fact attempt an SSL connection. so probably you should use "disable" instead of "false", and "require" or "prefer" instead of true?
