There is no need for such a change. When the value of the pathname attribute is
a relative path, it is interpreted as relative to ${catalina.base}.
The code is in org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabase#open().
I am keeping this issue open, as I think the open() method may be improved to
log a message when the file is missing. It may be a warning
if(this.readonly==true) and an info message otherwise.
Currently it just returns silently.

A tip in advance: Do not forget to apply "chown" to all log and temporary files
that were created when you started Tomcat as root. Those are in
$CATALINA_BASE/logs and $CATALINA_BASE/work.
If those are not accessible, things will go wrong. And if log files are not
writable, you will get no logging.
If you have further questions, ask on the mailing list.
