OK, I've updated my version to match.  Just commented out the
<security-role> node, everything else was the same..

I had previously deleted anthill.xml entirely.  I created it fresh
using this  exact text, but removed docBase as mine is different (can
I leave it out, or should I put it back with my path?)

Correct, all those parts were already there.  I thought their
existence in server.xml would remove the need to have an anthill.xml,
but I'm ready to try anything and everything at this point. 
tomcat-users.xml is set up as noted earlier...but still no luck.

Going to try turning up logging levels and see if any debug info is
getting generated.
