If you created the directory and the files under the same user that tomcat is running, then tomcat should have sufficient privileges to access the files. You can always double check by running tomcat as root.
To test the symlink, cd to the directory that contains the symlink and type: ls ROOT (assuming that the name of the symlink is "ROOT"). You should see the contents of the directory to which the link is pointing. Have you checked the log files for errors?
