It's working now! Seems like the app had some bugs in it which were not affecting Glassfish 2.1.
I Didn't get around to launching using the appclient script but I found that if I tried to login 3 times it gave the following error:
--
org.glassfish.appclient.client.acc.UserError: ACC009:
The credentials you provided (username and password) were not valid or do not
allow access to the application. Please try again with a valid username and
password. If you are certain the username and password are correct please
contact your system administrator. The following information might be helpful:

When I looked in sun-ejb-jar.xml, I found the EJB mentioned in the error was not listed in the enterprise-beans section!
I added the missing EJB to sun-ejb-jar.xml redeployed and found more missing EJB declarations, 7 missing out of 48 total (yeah we have a lot of EJBs)!
Once all the EJBs were declared in sun-ejb-jar.xml, the login was accepted and the application launched.
Along the way I ran into a couple of minor issues:
1. If I try to redeploy the application by clicking the "Redeploy" Action, no "Java Web Start" checkbox is present and once I re-deploy, there is no "Launch" link next to the app client modules. If I try to go directly to the web start URL for the app client, I get an error complaining about a missing JNLP file. I ended up undeploying and then deploying the application again to get around this.
2. If the login fails 3 times, I get an "Error Launching Application" window. Once I dismiss this window, the Java Web Start process remains running and I have to kill it otherwise it never exits.
Thanks a lot for your help!
