Is Tomcat actually running under the tomcat_user account?

I'd recommend that you place the .keystore file in a fixed location and 
configure that in Tomcat so that you're not subject to the whims of Windows 
deciding what your home directory happens to be at any given instant.

The XML parser in Tomcat will substitute the value of the Java system property 
user.home for the reference.  What user.home gets set to depends on how you 
start Tomcat and the version of Windows you're running.
