The api documentaion for EJBHome does say this:
An enterprise Bean's remote home interface defines the methods that allow a remote client to create, find, and remove EJB objects, as well as home business methods that are not specific to a bean instance
So, you are correct Anthony, I was misinformed. Can you give me an instance of a business method in a home interface that you have created/used? I've never had to do this (I haven't written many entity ejbs). And I can't think of any scenario where I'd need to.
