Jay - it's probably too simple, but the error says "not currently active" which could, of course, mean that although it's up and running, it's not listening on the port you have in the command line... Or that the port is blocked by a firewall or other network problem.
I note that you're using ports different from the default 8983 for your Solr instances... You probably checked already, but I thought I'd mention it.
