I did indeed miss that, sorry.

Strange. You might want to do as Chuck suggested and try a clean install. Are 
you using a Tomcat package provided bei CentOS? Then I'd try one available 
from tomcat.apache.org. And if there's no need for you to stick with 5.0 you 
could even get 5.5.x.

Just a WAG: maybe it's not really a permisson problem but the tomcat-users.xml 
that is somehow corrupt. If you post it's content here, we can take a look 
and see if we spot something obviously wrong.
Yes, it's far fetched, but I'm out of ideas.
