I'm confused. Help us understand what you're trying to accomplish
with that "5,Wait(30)" in there.

Also, the "_." is known to match everything including some things 
that you probably aren't expecting.

I'd suggest reorganizing the above into something like:

[from-livevoip]
exten => 8161234567,1,Wait(1)
exten => 8161234567,2,Dial(SIP/chris,10)
exten => 8161234567,3,Voicemail(uchris)
exten => 8161234567,103,Voicemail(bchris)
exten => 8161234567,104,Hangup

Then recording your voicemail "busy" and "unanswered" messages to
be whatever you have in "nbdy-avail-to-take-call".
