This is normally the case when the auto.deploy.dest.dir is pointing to the wrong place. Firstly, i came to realise the common mistake is to make this point to liferay_home/deploy which is not correct. This property specifies the destination of exploded files. For tomcat, it would be the webapps directory e.g. /opt/liferay-portal-6.2-ce-ga2/tomcat-7.0.42/webapps

In other words, tomcat, on receiving the exploded files,carries on. In your case, tomcat was never realising any changes.
