OK, that pointed me in the right direction. The tomcat user did not have WRITE permissions to the
[enginename] directory. That now brings up the point that just slays me: Why in the world does it assume that I want the manager application deployed to the new host? Who thought that was a good idea? When I create the new host, it copies manager.xml, and deploys my ROOT context (which exists in docbase), but doesn't create a ROOT.xml file in the [enginname]/[hostname] Directory. Also, it doesn't appear that the host-manager modifies server.xml, so any aliases or options specified at creation are lost when the server re-starts. As it stands, this is pretty useless. It just infuriates me that any time I point out how bad the admin app is, everyone tells me to use manager, or host-manager, but they're totally useless as well.
