We're up to 2.2.2.SP10 now, and the parameter "numberOfRetries" no longer exists. I'd suggest upgrading. In any case I wonder if you set "numberOfRetries" correctly. Check your EJB Connector MBean configuration? Since 3873 is the standard EJB3 port, we're talking about $JBOSS_HOME/server/$CONFIG/deploy/ejb3.deployer/META-INF/jboss-service.xml.
