I'm getting the same error.
Websphere Version 6.1.0.5

This came out of the Admin Console:
The exception IWAE0022E Exception occurred loading deployment descriptor for
 module "deploy_war.war" in EAR file "/was6/dmgr/profiles/sd-unitb-61/wstemp
/91203523/upload/deploy_ear-unitb.ear" occurred.

This came from the dmgr:
