http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html says:

"path
...
The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining 
a Context in server.xml, as it will be inferred from the filenames used 
for either the .xml context file or the docBase."

so I am not surprise that it is not working.

If you were using a full Java EE server you could use an ear file and
specify the path there.

With Tomcat I think the easiest solution is the low tech solution
of renaming before copying.
