I don't really know why this worked on 2.1.4 and now doesn't work on 2.2. Pretty sure the problem is related to your GERONIMO_HOME setting. I don't think GERONIMO_HOME is being set differently. More that Geronimo 2.2 is probably more sensitive...

Starting geronimo 2.2 normally:

Using GERONIMO_HOME: /home/kevan/geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.2
Using GERONIMO_TMPDIR: var/temp
...

Starting geronimo 2.2 with your symbolic links:

Using GERONIMO_HOME: /home/kevan/current/
Using GERONIMO_TMPDIR: var/temp
...

If I set GERONIMO_HOME=/home/kevan/geronimo-tomcat6-javaee2.2 and run with the symbolic links, the server starts correctly.
