Installer should set execute permissions for scripts in Tomcat's bin directory. Without this permission you can't start Tomcat server.
What installer do you use? I checked and permissions for tomcat seems ok in folder: $NBINSTALLDIR/nb4.0/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25/bin for new installer from /installer/coreide.
I have installed the latest installer version now and permissions are OK. Maybe this issues has been fixed. I close the bug.
