Yeah - seen this before. I've (we've) just managed to get TomCat working. I wasn't entirely certain as to where the two environment variables JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME should go, so I stuck them at the top of the catalina.sh script (not necessarily the best place to put them but it works). TomCat's user doesn't have a .profile or shell script. However, when I came to shutdown TomCat I got the same error as you. I then added export statements for the two variables (makes them global) and it works fine.
JAVA_HOME=<path>;export JAVA_HOME CATALINA_HOME=<path>;export CATALINA_HOME Not entirely certain why this works. The startup and shutdown scripts both use catalina.sh, so it shouldn't matter than the java variable only exists for the duration of the script. Could be that TomCat hadn't actually *fully* started when I tried shutting it down - the delay caused by my adding export statements to catalina.sh gave it time to load, making it seem that the modifications had done the trick! It's a theory I intend testing! Hope my ramblings are of some use!
