It seems you're unjarring the cactified war to add some stuff to it.
There's a better way to do it. The cactifywar task actually inherits
from the Ant war task so you can use all feature of the war task. For
example

<cactifywar [...]

  <lib dir="...">
    <include name="..."/>
  </lib>
  <classes dir="...">
    <include name="..."/>
  </classes>
</cactifywar>

That will win you several seconds (no need to unjar and rejar).

haha... it seems the answer is below in the stack trace...

So the server is answering by a 302... That's strange. An authentication
issue would have given a 4xxx error code...

Maybe, as Martin has suggested it is simply because the deployment has
not finished. Are you performing hot deployment (i.e. is the server
running when you copy the war file to
C:\bea\wlserver6.1\config\mydomain\applications)?
