My web app directory is physically residing in c:\idtect\projects\oemserver\web, which is what i defined in the server.xml for the context docBase. I think the catalina.base is set properly, because it is finding my server.xml and tomcat-users.xml files, as well as it's logging to the appropriate directory. It's just a problem with the webapp context.
And again, if I put catalina.base back to the tomcat install directory and use the -config command line parameter to specify my server.xml, it works fine. The reason this isn't acceptable is because then it loads tomcat-users.xml from the tomcat install directory. I suppose if I switch to JDBC security I won't have this problem. ;) I think this may be a bug in Tomcat but it seems to be a common thing to do so I'm suprised I'm the only one having this problem.
