Oliver, You'll probably have better luck not supplying CLI arguments and creating your collection via the collections api (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Collections+API#CollectionsAPI-CreateaCollection). Try removing -DnumShards and setting the -Dcollection.configName to something abstract such as "collection1" rather than "solrconfig.xml" as you'll actually end up creating a directory in zookeeper called "solrconfig.xml" which can get confusing. Something like:
http://localhost:7071/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=collection1&numShards=2&replicationFactor=2&maxShardsPerNode=2&collection.configName=collection1 should fit what you're trying to accomplish.
