Bob, Check one more thing. What are the permission set for on the directories? Also did you find the work directory? And if so who was the owner and what were the permissions set to?
Even if you own the directory, if you have set the permissions to not allow writes you will get errors or access denied. Just thinking of all possibilities. I think I did a >chmod -R 750 tomcat5 on my main tomcat directory.
