We had to manually created and populate the default path that
was selected:
mkdir -p /usr/share/tomcat6/.openoffice.org/3
and I used rsync to copy my laptop /home/amon/.openoffice
directory to the server. That seems to have made it work.
I have no idea why the set up had not autopopulated this directory
and required such extreme measures.
