[I would make this a comment to the answer of RajV, but do not have enough reputation to do so.]

Platform: Tomee 1.6.0 Webprofile, eclipse-jee-kepler-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64 and OpenJDK 1.7.0_51

After doing the steps in http://tomee.apache.org/tomee-and-eclipse.html (including "Workspace Metadata Installation") I got the same error "user lacks privilege or object not found". My reaction was to:

$ ln -s [workspace_path]/Servers/tomee.xml \ [workspace_path]/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/conf/

As an advantage of this solution TomEE in eclipse is always using the current version of Workspace/Servers/tomee.xml without any further manual operation.
