-Dcatalina.base not working

Hello,

I tried to set the the CATALINA_BASE directory so that multiple user can 
use their own configuration.

I set the environment variable

e.g.:

set CATALINA_BASE=C:\user1\tomcat

then like mentioned in the documentation:

catalina.bat start -Dcatalina.base=%CATALINA_BASE%

But still all logs are written to the CATALINA_HOME directory. This is 
not possible because the standard users have no write access on this 
directory.
What is wrong?

I tried on two different computers with Windows XP.

Bye, Karsten
