So you're running tomcat as the "tomcat6" user while the "dspace" user owns your dspace installation directory? They both need to be the same user. So either run Tomcat as "dspace" or chown -R your dspace installation directory to "tomcat6". This is an important consideration mentioned more than once in the installation chapter because it's known to cause permission issues: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Installation "This needs to be the same user that Tomcat (or Jetty etc.) will run as" "Note that DSpace will need to run as the same user as Tomcat, so you might want to install and run Tomcat as a user called 'dspace'. Set the environment variable TOMCAT_USER appropriately."
