Jonathan, Please note the openSearcher=false part of your configuration. This is why you don't see documents. The commits are occurring, and being written to segments on disk, but they are not visible to the search engine because a Solr searcher class has not opened them for visibility.
You can either change the value to true, or alternatively call a deterministic commit call at the end of your load (a solr/update?commit=true will default to openSearcher=true). Hope that's of use!
