I'm assuming this is on a Un*x machine. If you inspect catalina.sh where 
CATALINA_HOME is
defined you'll notice it isn't 'exported/sourced' which means child 
processes will never see it.
Dependent on your shell you can do this:

(bash shell)
export CATALINA_HOME=c:\somedir\subdir\file

or

(c shell)
setenv CATALINA_HOME c:\somedir\subdir\file
