I don't know if it makes a difference but try putting loadzone and
defaultzone before the fxXks declarations. Also be careful with spacing.
I remember once I had problems because a config file (don't remember if
it was zapata.conf or zaptel.conf) had (or had no) spaces when I
"declared" the channels. Little parsing glitches! :)

As the permissions are now it will only work if * runs as root (which is
a bad idea). Do a 'ps aux|grep asterisk' and find out which user
asterisk is running as.
