Frank, have a look at SOLR-646.
Do you think a workaround for the data-dir-tag in the solrconfig.xml can help? I think about something like <dataDir>${solr./data/corename}</dataDir> for illustration. Unfortunately I am not very skilled in working with solr's variables and therefore I do not know what variables are available. If we find a solution, we should provide it as a suggestion at the wiki's CoreAdmin-page.
