Tiles Failure in GlassFish: org.apache.tiles.NoSuchDefinitionException

At Greg Reddins suggestion I have moved to GlassFish v2_b20 in an
attempt to get past the need to use the verbatim tag around all non JSF
tags within a tile.

I have run into a problem that seems to be identical to the fixed
problem described in SB-37: <tiles:insert> tag does not support
correctly the "name" attribute.

Here are what I believe are pertinent snippets from various pieces of my
webapp.

/tiles-defs.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

 <!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
       "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 2.0//EN"

        <put name="header" type="template" value="/tiles/headerTile.jsp"/>
        <put name="rightSideBar" type="template"

        <put name="footer" type="template" value="/tiles/footerTile.jsp"/>
    </definition>

    <definition name="/welcomePage" extends="/mainLayout">
        <put name="content" type="template" value="/tiles/homeTile.jsp"/>
    </definition>

</tiles-definitions>

/web.xml:

I am using the following libs:

commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
commons-chain-1.1.jar
commons-digester-1.7.jar
commons-logging-1.1.jar
javaee.jar
jsf-impl.jar
shale-core-1.0.4-SNAPSHOT.jar
shale-spring-1.0.4-SNAPSHOT.jar
shale-tiles-1.0.4-SNAPSHOT.jar
spring-beans-1.2.8.jar
spring-context-1.2.8.jar
spring-core-1.2.8.jar
spring-web-1.2.8.jar
tiles-core-2.0-SNAPSHOT-20060922.jar

The javaee and jsf-impl jars came directly from the latest j2ee 5
installation.

I have successfully gotten the siteLayout.jsp page to render, if the
tiles:insert tag is commented out, so I know that JSF is getting that
far. I have also used the tiles-defs.xml and web.xml files in my
previous Tomcat tests successfully albeit with the verbatim tags
peppered all over the place. Does anyone see why I should receive the
following exceptions:
