Ok, I ran tomcat as root. It did solve the Permission denied message, but
the real problem is the "java.lang.Error: Not implemented" message. I
looked in the mailing list archives for a long time before posting because
I couldn't believe that nobody had ever run into this before. Usually I
just copy/paste an error message into Google and I have the answer to my
problem instantly.

OpenCMS 6.0beta3
Tomcat 4.1.27 - from Fedora Core 2
MySQL 4.1.10a - from RPM
J2RE 1.4.2 - from sun
Linux 2.6.10 (Fedora Core 2)

I have not edited the OC config files.

Once again, here is the error:

from localhost.log:
