Hi Dripht,
You may find it easier to create a sphere for the player instead. Check out Psychic Parrots demo that's posted in JV-ODE Thread 3, the demo shows a sphere with controlled velocity. When you're happy with the sphere setup, you can attach a cube (if needed) to the sphere using a joint to provide the sphere with cubed geometry.
If you're still stuck, let me know ;)
Update: JV-ODE V1.09 will be released shortly...
