[Asterisk-Users] Extreme delay before * processes call files

[Remco Barende]

Hi list!

I'm using Asterisk 1.2.7.1. with FreePBX 2.0.1 on a CentOS 3.7 box.
On the * box I also have a samba share where our CRM app can dump call 
files and a cron script is moving the call files every second to the 
asterisk directory.

Everything goes really quickly, the call file is placed on the samba share 
and very quickly moved to the asterisk dir, so far so good.

But then the call file just keeps sitting in the 
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing  directory and it seems that * is doing 
nothing with it?? Only after 10-30 seconds sometimes even much longer the 
call file is picked up.

There is no message on the * console about a call file being present.

Does anyone have a clue why asterisk fails to pick up call files 
within a reasonable amount of time? The load on the box is 0.05 at most.

Thanks!!
Remco
