I am not sure whether my information can help you but just today I have done 
similar action with upload.war from www.oreilly.com

By the way I am running standalone tomcat 4.0.4 on SuSE Linux 7.3 (Apache 
1.3.20)

So I did everything in the next order:
1) Put upload.war to webapps folder 
2) from the manager window made 
http://localhost:8080/manager/install?path=/upload&war=jar:file:/path/to/upload.war!/ 
Here it has created folder with name "upload" itself and expanded file 
upload.war there
3) then I rebooted my tomcat and how it has been already said on this list 
the application upload has disappeared but folder upload with it's context 
remained in webapp
4) manually edited the server.xml file, add there something like
        <Context path="/upload" crossContext="true" docBase="upload"
             override="true" reloadable="true"
             debug="3">
        </Context>
5) rebooted TC and the application upload runs perfectly

May be this can help you
