Unfortunately, without more information, it is difficult to know how you are really starting tomcat, and what influence that "TOMCAT_USER" line really has in the big scheme of things. Try to be more explicit and provide some details, such as which Linux, what command you use to start/restart tomcat, what version of Tomcat that is, etc..
