I'm a bit rusty on solrctl (and you might get faster/more up-to-date responses on the Cloudera lists). But to create a collection, you first need to have uploaded the configs to Zookeeper, things like schema.xml, solrconfig.xml etc. I forget what the solrctl command is, but something like "upconfig" IIRC.
Once that's done, you either 1> specify the collection name exactly the same as the config name you uploaded or 2> use one of the other parameters to tell collectionX to use configsetY with the collection create command. solrctl help should show you all these options...
