Answer 2

You will get this error if you already have an instance deployed to the Tomcat server. You can set update="true" in the tomcatdeploy:

<tomcatdeploy
        url="http://32.0.26.146:8080/manager/text"
        username="<veryHardToGuessUsername>"
        password="<veryHardToGuessPassword>"
        path="/avlsweb"
        war="/mnt/s/Web/Avlsweb/BambooBuilds/TEST/${nt-server.dir.test}_Tc${version}/avlsweb##${version}.war"
        version="${version}"
        update="true"
        />

Another option is to explicitly undeploy and then redeploy, or use the reload tag instead of the deploy tag.
