I may have it wrong, but I've found that PickUp can be a complete pain 
in the arse.

In the same arrangement, I have an agi script called for (what in yours 
would be _**6X,1, which picks up a group of extensions (well all 4 lines 
on the phone at intqueue (internal queue context) and the extension number 
itself.

This seems to work for incoming calls, but not internal calls. (Although 
  I haven't really looked into this, I do know that PickUp doesn't work 
ifn certain circumstances, such as the extension being picked up using a 
Macro to which handles the dialling for instance).

Now hopefully someone will come along and explain all the bits I got 
wrong. :-)
