Thanks Hoss, this is exactly what I needed. I had previously run the example using nothing more than an external ZK hosting my own configuration. This of course means one of two things - my conf was bad, or Solr was at fault. The conf has been working for ages so I didn't test a replacement (it's amazing how a little frustration can fuel such hubris). I had thought to do this before - and should have; I uploaded the full example collection configuration to ZK just now and tried again. Magic, it worked, which left me feeling a bit glum. Well, happy that it wasn't Solr. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a conf review to perform.
