Are you sure you didn't accidently corrupt the war file in some way?
what is the md5 or sha1sum of the war file you have?
does "jar tf solr.war" give you any errors?

I just used the following steps (basically the same as yours just
different paths) and got solr running in tomcat 7.0.29 with no
problems....
