Ah, well I have to apologize, it looks like my IDE was culprit. IDEA deploys Tomcat from a newly created directory at each deploy (i.e. it copies some known files from CATALINA_BASE).
Well of course it doesn't copy /lib since we created that directory - it's not part of the "standard" CATALINA_BASE. Here's what the classloader thinks the path is, from a println inside of Bootstrap.java. CLNAME[common] Locations:[/opt/tools-ui/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/lib, /opt/tools-ui/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/lib/, /home/rob/.IntelliJIdea90/system/tomcat/Unnamed_App39c00e45/lib, /home/rob/.IntelliJIdea90/system/tomcat/Unnamed_App39c00e45/lib/] The 3rd and 4th paths don't exist. Time to file an improvement request with IDEA :) Thanks for all your help!
