I took a look at the config.xml and the config-substitutions.properties last night. Looks like everything was Ok. I checked the /etc/hosts file again and there was no entry for localhost:). I manually edited it with "sudo gedit /etc/hosts", rather than trying to use the Network config utility. Added a host name with no domain.tld and localhost to the loopback and gave it another shot.
Presto, ./geronimo.sh start and ./geronimo.sh stop both worked. Gotta watch out for those fiesty unconfigured network features! Thanks for the quick response guy's! I am getting an error in the geronimo.out for the tomcat6 gbean startup, 'ERROR [[/]] "Restricted listeners property file not found'. All seems to be working though. Not sure if that one's important or not.
