This is is pretty straight forward, you are using Zap/1 to pickup and
your dial command is also trying to use Zap/1. You have it busy in one
part of the call and the second part can't do it's job.

BTW, you should not have a extension layout that is a dial, then
background commands. The normal end of a dial command is a hangup or
busy. 

What you probably want is something along the ways of this for your
1.call

Channel: Zap/1/19548738986
MaxRetries: 2
RetryTime: 60
WaitTime: 30
Context: callme
Extension: 800
Priority: 2

This will make the outbound call and the play your messages.
