If your setup is something like this, it won't work:

public class Bean {
   // marked as REQUIRES
  public void doA() {
    doB(); // run as REQUIRES_NEW
    doB(); // run as REQUIRES_NEW
  }

  public void doB() {
    ...
  }
}

Because when doB is called from inside doA, it's not going through the
proxy.  Therefore, it bypasses the transaction code.  Maybe this is
why you're not seeing the behavior you expect?
