This answer comes too late for this user, but for future users, after 2 trips to the Apple store and collaboration by a number of Geniuses, I now have Windows 7 running in Bootcamp and this was the fix:


You cannot simply download the Windows 7 files (iso or exe; we tried both) to a disc or USB and have Bootcamp recognize it, nor did using Disk Utility work in my case. We had to download a free iso burning program for Mac (we used SimplyBurns Mac). That program runs you through the necessary steps to properly burn the iso file you need. After doing so, Bootcamp recognized the installation file and everything worked as it should.
