There were some problems e.g. ETHREEOH-2332 on early versions of 3.2 with the deployment.properties file not being picked up.

From memory it was due to an error in the start up script and was fixed last year. You should be able to take the latest scripts and use them for 3.2.

I just did a diff on deploy_start.sh from both alfresco-enterprise-deployment-3.2.0.zip and alfresco-enterprise-deployment-3.2.1.2.zip and I did not see any difference.
1. Do I need to overwrite specific files from 3.2.1.2 to 3.2.0? which ones should I overwrite?
2. Or will it work if I just used deployment server for 3.2.1.2 with Alfresco enterprise 3.2.0?

So i just installed alfresco-deployment-3.2.1.2 instead of alfresco-deployment-3.2.0.zip and ran the test again, and I still get the same thing - deploys to a directory "target" inside the deployment install directory, but not to /var/www/staging, which is the value of rootDirectory.
Even enterprise support can't figure this one out.

Your config looks fine. And a similar test of the current community download works for me…

Please post your deployment.log file.

You could also try an experiment by changing your default-target.xml file directly to remove the dependency on the deployment.filesystem.default.rootdir property just hard code /var/www/staging

Yes, I was able to get the deployment to work by modifying the rootDirectory property value in the default-target.xml directly. I changed the following line:
<!– Where too store content –>
<property name="rootDirectory">
<value>${deployment.filesystem.default.rootdir}</value>
</property>
to
<!– Where too store content –>
<property name="rootDirectory">
<value>/var/www/staging</value>
</property>

and that worked.
