Richard,
In my instructions, the chowns are as follows:
shell> chown -R root /usr/local/mysql/.
shell> chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/data
shell> chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/.
Note no slash after data. However, you have world read and write on the data
folder anyway
The mysql folder is a link into /root/mysql-max-4.1.14-pc-linux-gnu-i686
My guess is that the tomcat user can't create a file in /root/
mysql-max-4.1.14-pc-linux-gnu-i686/data
What do you get if you do:
ls -l /root/mysql-max-4.1.14-pc-linux-gnu-i686
Can tomcat write into this?
Andy

Richard,
What output do you get from:
ls -l /usr/local/mysql
