try to update xerces to 2.0.2 version. I had this problem too, same environment.
(http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j/Xerces-J-bin.2.0.2.zip) from the zip, copy xercesImpl, xmlParserAPI to CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. Remove the version of xerces you have there (xerces.jar). Remove xercesImpl-2.0.0 from cocoon's WEB-INF/lib.
