Thanks Ish, that's pretty much it. I skipped the first step, copied and
renamed the custom greeting to:
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/voicemail/4000/unavail.gsm

Changed the extensions.conf as you said from:
exten => 2,n,VoiceMail(4000 at voicemail)
To:
exten => 2,n,VoiceMail(4000 at voicemail,u)

And away it goes :-) The only downside is it still plays the system
default (vm-intro.gsm) *after* the custom ends.

<SIP/1000-00000001> Playing
'/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/voicemail/4000/unavail.gsm' (language
'en')
<SIP/1000-00000001> Playing 'vm-intro.gsm' (language 'en')

But it's good enough for what I need - many thanks to all that took the
time and trouble to respond.
