I do use cp, but I create the file with a future time/date.  Asterisk 
will not touch it until that time/date has occured.  I do the following 
for my call files:

#!/bin/sh

cd /usr/local/bin
/bin/touch /usr/local/bin/$1.call
/bin/touch -r /usr/local/bin/$1.call -m -F 150 /usr/local/bin/$1.call
cp --preserve=timestamps /usr/local/bin/$1.call 
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
