Try changing it to be:
<ejbjar descriptordir="src/ejb/descriptor"
srcdir="src/ejb/src"
destdir="src/ejb/deploy"
naming="ejb-name"
flatdestdir="true">
<include name="**/ejb-jar.xml" />
<exclude name="**/*jboss.xml />
<jboss destdir="${jboss.deploy}/"/>
<dtd publicId="-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS//EN"
location="http://localhost/DTD/jboss.dtd"/>
<dtd publicId="-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN"
location="http://localhost/DTD/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd"/>
</ejbjar>
I had the same problem (with WebLogic) until I excluded all the other descriptor files.
