genzaptelconf is used for detection. This is not something you should
run on each startup.

Where does it get the configuration wrong?

(And you don't have to #include that file into zapata.conf. You can put
whatever you want in your zapata.conf. That was the point of generatign
a file that is not zapata.conf)

What do you have in your zapata.conf? Can you post it here?
What is the output of:
  
  asterisk -rx 'zap show chanels'
  lszaptel
