Yeah, I figured that out...  If you modify setclasspath.sh to add additional 
classpaths (like the one containing your JDBC driver) then everything works as 
expected.

It just felt kinda dirty to have to modify scripts that ship with the distribution to 
get things to work.  It would've been nice if CATALINA_BASE would also use that 
directory for common/lib (then I could create some symlinks back to the master) or if 
catalina.sh would provide a commandline argument or environment variable to set the 
additional classpath (JAVA_OPTS is close.... You can add -classpath ...., but it 
doesn't work because there are then two -classpath args and both don't seem to be 
honored)

Cool.  Thanks for the reply!
