I think problem in the file permissions of the tomcat folders. Look on 
permissions of tomcat/webapps/opencms. May be you installed OpenCms when 
tomcat was started as root process and now OpenCms folders has only root 
read-write permission. IMHO you must change owner of webapps tomcat 
folders to your tomcat system account (e.g. tomcat or www - see 
/ets/passwd) by the following command
# chown -R ${TOMCAT_ACCOUNT_NAME} ${TOMCAT_WEBAPPS_FOLDER}

Sorry for my poor English.
