Thanks Stefan,
That did the trick!
I changed the ownership of the folder:
sudo chown tomcat6:tomcat6 geoserver_data
To be sure I also did
sudo chmod 0777 geoserver_data
I'm not sure if the above is needed or even wise (I'm still new to Ubuntu).
But is it now working and even the geowebcache.xml is created.
After restarting Tomcat, the files persist.
Thanks,
Paul
