Instead of using 2 extensions, you can get away with just one.  Check 
the database entry at the start, if it's already set, remove it.  If 
it's not there, add it.

exten => 79*,1,Set(CALLBACK=${DB(DND/${CALLERIDNUM})})
exten => 79*,2,GotoIf($["${CALLBACK}" = "YES"]?79*,3:79*,101)
exten => 79*,3,Set(DB(DND/${CALLERIDNUM})=NO)
exten => 79*,4,Playback(local/stutter)
exten => 79*,5,Playback(de-activated)
exten => 79*,6,Hangup()
exten => 79*,101,Set(DB(DND/${CALLERIDNUM})=YES)
exten => 79*,102,Playback(local/stutter)
exten => 79*,103,Playback(activated)
exten => 79*,104,Hangup()
