Did this, the problem slightly shifted...
Attempts to meetme resulted in ...
Sep 29 13:07:39 WARNING[311315]: channel.c:1901 ast_request: No channel
type registered for 'zap'
Sep 29 13:07:39 WARNING[311315]: app_meetme.c:227 build_conf: Unable to
open pseudo channel - trying device
Sep 29 13:07:39 WARNING[311315]: app_meetme.c:230 build_conf: Unable to
open pseudo device

Chown asterisk:root /dev/zap/pseudo fixed it!  Debian run's chroot'ed
...
