Do you really even need that symlink? > So I'm wondering if I need to change chown the > /usr/local/tomcatversion directory to match my user id instead of > "root" ?

With both CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE set, I can run $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh and everything runs without any issues. No sudo. No root.
