I've run into this before, but didn't have time to hunt down the issue.
Now I do, so here goes.
I have installed both TC 6.0.24 and 5.5.28 on Windows server 2003 32-bit
(into separate directories, of course). In each case, I first ran the
windows installer .exe, and then unzipped the .zip package on top of it
so I would have the service.bat utilities. Each one started its default
service with no trouble.
I then created a service for my app with each version's service.bat
(different names), which starts from a separate folder on the HD. With
IDENTICAL settings, both pointing to the exact same catalina_base, the
5.5 one starts fine, and 6.0 fails to start, with the following error in
stderr_20100308.log:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina

Much searching of documentation and faqs has not turned up an
explanation of what I may be missing in the 6.0 installation, or what
the configuration differences are between the two versions.
Any suggestions?
I'll take a pot-shot :
If I compare my Tomcat 5.5 and 6.0 catalina_home dirs, I see that in 5.5
there is a "shared" subdir, with 2 subdirs "classes" and "lib".
On the other hand, under 6.0 there is no "shared" subdir, only a "lib".
If these sub-directories were defined as being relative to
catalina_base, that may explain your problem, no ?
(In the sense that Tomcat6.0 is looking for a class under the
catalina_base/lib subdir, but there is no such thing)
(If I understand well what you say above, catalina_base is really one
one and the same directory, used for both your tomcat5.5 and tomcat6.0
trials, yes ?)
