Maven Cargo Tomcat7 the server.xml is being over written

Question

I'm trying to get our integration testing running with maven. It's deploying the catalina-base to the correct directory and running with catelina-home set as the local install of Tomcat7.

However the copy/configfile commands don't work for the server.xml. The tomcat-users.xml is being correctly copied but not the server.xml. Any idea why this would be happening? See the pom.xml below:

I've run into a simular issue. I've used <configfiles> instead of <files>, that did the trick.
