OK, instead of calling out the etc/asterisk directly on the command line, I
just symlinked back to my /etc/asterisk directory, and that works.

This leads me to one of a few possible solution sets, since I suspect many
people will run into this same problem:

1) Create a symlink (probably not the best idea, but it could work) if
/etc/asterisk exists

2) Cascade through ${BASE}/etc/asterisk and then look in /etc/asterisk if
the default location isn't populated with valid files

3) Print a big ERROR message if etc/asterisk is empty, because right now
there is NO error message if that directory doesn't exist (which would have
saved me a lot of time working on this problem)
