At the end reverse engineering in Cayenne is based on JDBC API. More specifically it invokes DatabaseMetaData.getTables(..) method:
with catalog parameter set to NULL, schema and table patterns set to your selections, and "types" set to { "TABLE", "VIEW" }. Then it processes whatever is returned by this method.
I guess one way to debug it is to write a simple JDBC test to see if the above returns any data.
