Well ... now I know why no one responded to this one . . .  While my init.d  
script was changing ownership of tomcat's  directories and files to user 
"tomcat", it wasn't handling file permissions.  Very simple fix was to run 
chmod recursively on the directory setting the permissions properly and now 
everything works as expected.
