First, I'm no Tomcat expert.... here's the Tomcat Solr page, but you've probably already seen it: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat
But I'm guessing that you may have old jars around somewhere and things are getting confused. I'd blow away the whole thing and start over, whenever I start copying jars around I always lose track of what's where. Have you successfully had any other Solr operate under Tomcat?
