I'm not sure why you have three different sets of priorities one and two
here... Also, you have a *very* long argument to the Answer()
application.  Usually a second or two is plenty.  Try something like
this:

exten => s,1,Answer(1) 		; answer the call, then wait 1 second
				; before going on to the next priority
exten => s,2,Background(vm-enter-num-to-call) ; play prompt in 
				; background, waiting for caller to
				; enter DTMF digits
exten => s,3,WaitExten()	; continue to wait for digits after the
				; prompt has finished

exten => 1,1,SayDigits(1)	; say "one"
exten => 1,2,Goto(s,1)		; go back to the menu

exten => 2,1,SayDigits(2)	; say "two"
exten => 2,2,Goto(s,1)		; go back to the menu

Hopefully that will get you started in the right direction.
