The classloading hierarchy has changed in Tomcat 6; in particular, there is no 
shared directory anymore, but there is a lib directory (under catalina.home).  
If you're missing that, you'll get the exception you noted.

If you simply expect your 5.5 conf/server.xml and conf/*.properties files to 
work in Tomcat 6, you're sadly mistaken.

Read the doc for the current level, not what you've used for years.  Things 
change.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER set the CLASSPATH variable for Tomcat.  (Besides, services 
ignore environment variables.)
