Can't add Javascript

I'm trying to add a custom Js to my custom template.

local.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
    <default>
       <reference name="head">
           <action method="addItem"><type>skin_js</type><name>js/main.js</name></action>
        </reference>
    </default>
</layout>

I've placed my .JS in the skin folder. I've repeatedly refreshed my cache. But it won't output the console.log i've placed in it. <?php echo $this->getChildHtml() ?> is also in head.phtml
