Sure - couldn't agree more. I couldn't find any good documentation on the Solr site about how to add a replica to a Solr cloud. The Admin UI appears to require that the directories be created anyway.
There is probably a way to do it through the UI, once Solr is installed on a new machine - and IIRC, I did manage that, but my IT guy wanted scriptable command lines. Also, IIRC, the stuff I did on the command line actually showed the API URL as part of the output so Jay could try that and see what the difference is... Jay - I'm going offline now, but if you're still stuck tomorrow, I'll try to recreate... I have a VM snapshot just before I issued the command... Keep in mind everything I did was in a Solr Cloud...
