Unable to do a remote ejb access from a different host

Question

We are using a servlet to access a remote ejb deployed on a different host and getting the exception mentioned in the stacktrace below.

The remote access works if the servlet client and the remote ejb war are deployed in different domains and on the same host.
Works if they are deployed on the same host and same domain
does not work when deployed on two diffrent hosts.
Looking at the exception"CORBA.NO_PERMISSION: vmcid: 0x0 minor code: 0 completed: No", we thought it could be security issue. But the test ejb application didnt have any security configurations. Tried adding the "" details to the sun-ejb-jar.xml and used ProgrammaticLogin api. We got the same exception. Not sure if the security config was correct though.
The glassfish-corba log level was set to finest in the server where the ejb application was deployed. We then got this exception, " org.omg.CORBA.BAD_INV_ORDER: FINE: IOP01600015: Service context add failed in portable interceptor because a service context with id 15 already exists vmcid: SUN minor code: 15 completed: No". The full stacktrace is mentioned below in the server log.
tried using the front-end back-end test cases from Glassfish bug: http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-15523. We are getting the same exception.

Glassfish version: 3.1 build 43

Not sure where we are going wrong. Please help. Thanks.
