Shawn, I agree the data dir concept doesn't make much sense in the context of collections. With the config I had setup the solr home was in a different file mount, so I had to change my solr home filemount location to get the data dir to locate where I wanted it once the data dir option was removed. >From the post above it sounds like it is supported with some lesser known options, I will look at those to see if it gives any more flexibility in this scenario. The solr.xml I mentioned above was not the one that controls the cores. In my solr.solr.home=/ebs-data/solr/conf folder there is still a solr.xml that reflects the original core and the newly added core from the collections api.
