path is for url so your example below will fail
<Context path="C:/" docbase="Projects/calendar/htdocs" debug="0"/>
http://localhost:8080/<context_path>/path/to/servlet
Does the examples work for you? http://localhost:8080/examples?
How about removing this context and sticking with the basic build and enabling debugging (i.e. change debug from 0 to 1 on the <Context>)
Finally check for stray characters in your MANIFEST-MF file. At least with ATG/Dynamo its very picky about its manifest file with ^M control chars.
Good luck
