Sounds great. Nothing stands out to me.
Maybe turn on developer mode to see if there's any errors logged when
trying to set the value (struts.devMode=true)
Is it possible it can't instantiate an AmountDTO object or call the
corresponding getter before setting the BigDecimal value?
Also try to set a BigDecimal in your action directly rather than the
property of your AmountDTO.
Another solution is to provide an AmountDTO converter rather than a
BigDecimal converter..

I've implemented this now... but its not working correctly. I'm using Struts
2.0.9 (am aware of the new versions).
I have an AmountDTO which has a CurrencyCode (String), and a BigDecimal.
I have created an xwork-conversion.properties in the root of the classpath
which has the following line in it.
java.math.BigDecimal=example.BigDecimalConverter
The converter was not working at all with the
<ActionClass>-conversion.properties.
I lookup the current locale as follows
Locale locale = ActionContext.getContext().getLocale();
NumberFormat format = DecimalFormat.getInstance(locale);
If i turn on Debug, i can step through the convertFromString method, and the
correct value is assigned to the result. The converter works!!! :) this is
a good thing.
However, after the converter - the AmountDTO.value in the action has null
set against it. (value is a BigDecimal with appropriate getters and
setters)
What could cause this? All I have changed is the converter, and its obeying
its contract correctly (and detecting the appropriate class, and returning
an appropriate instance)
Ideas?

I've decided to use a collection of NumberFormat's. You could use any
string -> decimal conversion technique you like.
This can be used to an action by created a
<actionname>-conversion.properties will in the same directory as the
class, with an entry:
<propertyName>=example.DecimalConverter
where <propertyName> is the name of the property name that needs custom
conversion and <actionName> is the short class name of your action
