unFREAKINbelievable.

FC4's tomcat user has a home of /usr/share/tomcat, and all the 
directories in there are actually symbolic links to directories under 
/var/lib/tomcat5.  OK, fine.

/usr/share/tomcat is owned by root! As was much of /var/lib/tomcat5.
DOH!

So I did a chown -R tomcat.comcat /usr/share/tomcat /usr/local/anthill, 
restarted, and it worked.

Thank you.
