Yeah, I had the same problem. Make sure your distribution is from March 19th, that is the only date that I found that works (however, other things don't, ie. The Admin servlet when access via http://localhost:8080/axis/servlet/AdminServlet in a web browser shows you the names of the deployed services in later builds after March 19).
