MessageBundler creating temp files in wrong place on Tomcat

[rebrendler]

MessageBundler seems to be creating temp files in the CATALINA_BASE directory, rather than in the CATALINA_TEMP directory. When running under a "normal" tomcat installation on CentOS (yum install tomcat6), the CATALINA_BASE directory is owned by root, so I am getting "permission denied" errors.

19:17:56,340 ERROR [CdfContentGenerator] Error creating cdf content:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: tempMessageFile_1405711076336 (Permission denied)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.(FileOutputStream.java:221)
at java.io.FileWriter.(FileWriter.java:107)
at org.pentaho.cdf.localization.MessageBundlesHelper.appendMessageFiles(MessageBundlesHelper.java:139)
at org.pentaho.cdf.localization.MessageBundlesHelper.appendMessageFiles(MessageBundlesHelper.java:114)

I have verified that changing the owner of CATALINA_BASE to the tomcat user makes these errors go away.
