First, the service always reports a success. Probably should be updated to actually say if something worked or not.
Second, are you using Windows XP? In that case, the display name is used in the list of services instead of the service name you specified. The service will show up as "Apache Tomcat". However removal will require the original name that you passed in, not "Apache Tomcat". BTW, do you have CATALINA_HOME specified (not TOMCAT_HOME)? If it is not specified, then this script will fail. Otherwise, it should work fine.
