What did you set URIList to? Did you read the documentation for that property in the 4.0.x or 4.2.x versions of JBossAS (it describes exactly what is allowed and how it is interpreted). If you post the VFSDeploymentScanner bean from the profile.xml file, remember to enclose your XML text in UBBCode "code" tags - you can do this by selecting the XML text and clicking the Code button above the editor window. Also, click the Preview button to ensure that the formatting is correct and the XML text shows up before posting.
