Your configuration file is valid. Does the user Tomcat runs as have write permission along the output path? You could try using /tmp as a test. If it is not permissions, then it could be a classpath issue, but your notes lead me to believe that not to be the case (i.e., you put them where they should be.
You may (I'm fuzzy on this) have to rename the tomcat-juli.jar file, or otherwise change the startup script(s) so that it doesn't use the juli logger.
