I've had the same problem, with a much more mundane solution:
Poor connection onto the battery! There is enough power to throw the
solonoid, but when the starter motor tries to drain the huge current it
needs, voltage falls though the floor and nothing happens - not even the
groaning attempt at turning over that you usually get with a flat-ish
battery.
I wiggled the connection a bit and the car fired right up. It happened
several times until I finally got around to cleaning the terminals and
screwing the connector down firmly.
