My guess is that you don't have a [compat] section in your asterisk.conf.
Starting in 1.6.0, Asterisk looks for a value called res_agi=1.6 in this
section.  It defaults to the value "1.4" in 1.6.0, though if you clean
install, it sets the value as "1.6".  This value governs which delimiter
AGI uses.

This section and value were created at the direct request of users who thought
it was confusing that their 1.4 scripts no longer worked correctly in 1.6.0
and wanted a compatibility setting.
