Xbee communication.

I've trouble making arduinos xbees communicate to each other through xbees.
Series 2 xbees are used and is connected to arduinos using xbee shield.
They have been configured using xctu.

sender code
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
Serial.println("H"); //turn on the LED
delay(1000);
Serial.println("L");//turn off the LED
delay(1000);
}
receiver code
msg = ' ';
const int led = 13;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(led,OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
while(Serial.available() > 0) {
msg=Serial.read();
if(msg=='H') {
digitalWrite(led,HIGH);
}
if(msg=='L') {
digitalWrite(led,LOW);
}
delay(1000);
}
}
Please help me out with this.

Lets start with some questions:

How are you connecting the Xbee's to your Arduinos?

Have you looked at the reference information for your connection method (IE the official shield: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoWirelessShield has information that could explain your issues)

Have you tried your receiver code via just the USB (no shield) to see if it works?
Have you tried your sender code via just the USB (no shield) to see if it works?

Looking at your code, your receiver code doesn't need the delay, I don't think that is your issue, but it could cause some odd or unexpected behavior.

Does your code even compile? I have my doubts about that receiver code even compiling.

What happens when you run the code (if you can)? That is, specifically what help do you need?
