I saw _EXACTLY_ this one at my first attempt and it was caused by me
starting tomcat with the standard scripts.  The change necessary in my
case was to add: 

export J2EE_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat5.5
export FUNAMBOL_HOME=/usr/local/Funambol/ds-server

CATALINA_OPTS="-Dfunambol.ds.home=$FUNAMBOL_HOME -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Djava.aw
t.headless=true -Xmx256M -server"

To my standard Debian startup script.

Hope that helps.
