If you are using VM2 and using something other than the [default] 
context then you will not create the correct directory structures when 
you run the addmailbox script to create the mailboxes..

I have attached a copy of my addmailbox2 script which takes into account 
the context when creating the voice mailbox directory structure..

Hope it helps you promlem..

Later..
