I use a single user exactly to avoid the problem. Since the machine is dedicated to DSpace, I don't have a problem with that from the security point of view - if anything, the security can be tighter with one account in this case. So I can't really tell you the details for a separate-users setup because I would be only theoreticise and guess. I don't want to confuse you. One more idea occurs to me - are you using TOMCAT6_SECURITY=yes? If so, try switching it to "no" just to test it. I have it switched on, but I remember I had some problems with it before I started using a single account. I don't remember what they were, though.
