Local Session Bean Call Exception in App Server

Question

I have been having trouble calling a Local Session bean in Glassfish.
I set up an example to show the exception I am having:
MainBeanLocal
    package com.test;
    import javax.ejb.Local;
    @Local
    public interface MainBeanLocal {
         void testCall();
MainBean:
    package com.test;
    import javax.ejb.Stateless;
     * Session Bean implementation class MainBean
    @Stateless(mappedName = "ejb/MainBean")
    public class MainBean implements MainBeanLocal {
         @Override
         public void testCall() {
              System.out.println("Test Call Succeeded");
RemoteBeanRemote:
    package com.test;
    import javax.ejb.Remote;
    @Remote
    public interface RemoteBeanRemote {
         public void callMainBean();
RemoteBean:
    package com.test;
    import javax.ejb.Stateless;
    import javax.naming.InitialContext;
    import javax.naming.NamingException;
     * Session Bean implementation class RemoteBean
    @Stateless(mappedName = "ejb/RemoteBean")
    public class RemoteBean implements RemoteBeanRemote {
         @Override
         public void callMainBean() {
              try {
                   InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
                   MainBeanLocal mb = (MainBeanLocal) ctx.lookup("ejb/MainBean");
                   mb.testCall();
              } catch (NamingException e) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e.printStackTrace();
Test Code:
    package com.test;
    import javax.naming.InitialContext;
    import javax.naming.NamingException;
    public class BeanTester {
         public static void main(String[] args){
              try {
                   InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
                   RemoteBeanRemote remote = (RemoteBeanRemote) ctx.lookup("ejb/RemoteBean");
                   remote.callMainBean();
              } catch (NamingException e) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e.printStackTrace();
Output Trace:
    INFO: deployed with moduleid = TestEJB
    INFO: **RemoteBusinessJndiName: ejb/RemoteBean; remoteBusIntf: com.test.RemoteBeanRemote
    INFO: LDR5010: All ejb(s) of [TestEJB] loaded successfully!

...What am I doing wrong when calling **MainBeanLocal**? I would like to avoid dependency injection, as if the MainBeanLocal was being called from a POJO.
Note: I have no trouble calling the RemoteBean.. I want to be able to call the local bean from the remote bean.

Maik,
If this is still a problem, could you please post the descriptors from the EAR?
Are you using any annotations?
