why am I getting the deployment error?

Question

As I try to deploy my web application from netbeans, I get the following error :

Starting Tomcat process...
Waiting for Tomcat...
Tomcat server started.
W:\UnderTest\NetbeansCurrent\WebApplication1\nbproject\build-impl.xml:1033: 
Deployment error: Access to Tomcat server has not been authorized.
Set the correct username and password with the "manager-script" role in the 
Tomcat customizer in the Server Manager.
See the server log for details.
BUILD FAILED (total time: 14 seconds)

What is that ? Why am I getting this error ?

Following is the snippet from tomcat-users.xml :

    <tomcat-users>
<!--
  NOTE:  By default, no user is included in the "manager-gui" role required
  to operate the "/manager/html" web application.  If you wish to use this app,
  you must define such a user - the username and password are arbitrary.
-->
<!--
  NOTE:  The sample user and role entries below are wrapped in a comment
  and thus are ignored when reading this file. Do not forget to remove
  <!.. ..> that surrounds them.
-->

  <role rolename="tomcat"/>
  <role rolename="role1"/>
  <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
  <user username="suhail" password="suhail" roles="manager-gui"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
  <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
  <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>

</tomcat-users>

Following is the snapshot from netbeans server settings :

You have to add the manager-script in order to perform deployment operations.

So in you xml you should have something like

<user username="suhail" password="suhail" roles="manager-gui,manager-script"/>

why am I getting the deployment error?
