Hi, As the RUNNING.txt file include with the distribution says, webapps and several other directories are calculated relative to $CATALINA_BASE, not $CATALINA_HOME, when the two are different. So you're sort of doing this backwards.
Check section 4 of the RUNNING.txt file: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-tomcat-5/RUNNING.txt?rev=1.6&o nly_with_tag=TOMCAT_5_0&view=markup.
