I guess
	tmpdir="${target.testreport.dir}/tmp"
should be
	tmpdir="${target.testreport.dir}/tmp">


I think it may be a bug of Cactus.
Cactus tries to copy files specified by the conf nested element
to tmpdir/conf, however, ${test.conf.dir}/tomcat-users.xml
will not be copied because Cactus create tmpdir/conf/tomcat-users.xml
which is newer than ${test.conf.dir}/tomcat-users.xml.


You might use server.xml customized so that UserDatabase
should not refer tomcat-users.xml. For example:
${test.conf.dir}/server-cactus.xml contains:
		<ResourceParams name="UserDatabase">
		  ...
		  <parameter>
		    <name>pathname</name>
		    <value>conf/test-users.xml</value>
		  </parameter>
		</ResourceParams>

${test.conf.dir}/test-usrs.xml contains user information for test.

build.xml contains:
	  <tomcat5x ...
	        serverxml="${test.conf.dir}/server-cactus.xml"
	  >
	      <conf file="${test.conf.dir}/test-usrs.xml" />
	  </tomcat5x>



Hope this helps.
