I don't have much experience regarding RMI so I won't be of much help if it's a RMI-specific problem. But two points come to my mind: 1. You did make sure everything works as expected if you start Tomcat without security manager? 2. Do CATALINE_HOME and CATALINA_BASE point to the same directory? If not, the setting above may be without effect.
