XP tomcat service account access rights

So I set up a limited user account to run my Tomcat service on XP Pro. My
question is, what specific rights are need for which folders under
CATALINA_HOME? It seems to run ok with "read & execute", "list directory",
and "read" for the whole branch with "write" specifically for the logs
directory.

I'm not clear on what else might be needed. 'Temp' for instance looks
suspiciously write-needy. And I seee log messages about trying to rename
/conf/tomcat-user.xml.old (which doesn't exist anyway but presumably would
need write access for if it did).

I haven't come across this info anywhere yet. The place I would like to have
found it is on the page:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/setup.html

in that first paragraph under 'Installation as a service'.
