Chuck,
   Thanks for the quick response..
I am set up to test the issue on tomcat 5.5 and 6 and am currently testing on 6.
The context.xml within the META-INF directory for foo.war
is currently <Context debug="0">
<resource  ... values for resources...
/>
</Context>

after clearing out the work directory and restarting the error is the same as before..
ie.

SEVERE: Error starting static Resources
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /roller does not exist or is not a readabl$ at org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext.setDocBase(FileDirContext.java:141) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.resourcesStart(StandardContext.java:3957) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4126) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:791) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:771) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:525) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptor(HostConfig.java:626) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptors(HostConfig.java:553) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployApps(HostConfig.java:488)

Still a little confused..

Subject: appbase and docbase

For an application let's call it foo and it is in a war and
meant to be "executed" as such.. so foo.war is placed within
the webapps directory.
Within the META-INF directory of the foo war is a context.xml that
states the path="/foo" and the docBase="roller.war".

Assuming you're running on a reasonably modern version of Tomcat (which you didn't 
bother to tell us), the path and docBase attributes are not allowed for a 
<Context> element in META-INF/context.xml; remove them, and try it again.
