Thanks...that did the trick!
I did a "sudo chown tomcat6:tomcat6 data:dir" and restarted tomcat6 and the
data_dir was recognised once again.
I also then had to set new permissions to the my data_dir/www folder to the
GIS
user, otherwise the website wouldn´t have been editable.
thanks,
Robert

check owner and permissions on the new directory - tomcat6 user needs write

GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR parameter value in web.xml but after restarting tomcat6 the
service context is not found and geoserver is not able to be activated. If I
change the web.xml back again the service is ok.
