Ryan,

there are essentially three ways to define the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR  (windows
or linux does not matter):

 -   web.xml
 -   as a variable be it system or environment var(with export)
 -   when you start the process java -D......

please have a look whether you have set something (in the former verwsion
probably) that contradicts what you're trying to do in the web.xml

Cheers

Christian

P.S. Doooh, it's all here:
