Never mind, I think this is what Burt was suggesting to get hibernate
to output the DDL:
1) set org.'hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl'="debug" in the log4j settings in
Config.groovy
2) set dbCreate to "create-drop"
3) start grails

When grails starts up and the schema is dropped and created, you will
see all of the ddl printed to stdout:

[2797] hbm2ddl.SchemaExport Running hbm2ddl schema export
[2812] hbm2ddl.SchemaExport import file not found: /import.sql
[2812] hbm2ddl.SchemaExport exporting generated schema to database
[2812] hbm2ddl.SchemaExport alter table bibliography drop foreign key
FK563143626D2169FE
...

I was missing step 2 since I was mapping against a legacy database.
