You need to load the chan_local.so channel before pbx_config.so loads, so that
your Local channels have the right devicestate.  Adding 'preload =>
chan_local.so', followed by 'preload => pbx_config.so', to
your /etc/asterisk/modules.conf should be sufficient.  Otherwise, when
app_queue queries the state of the Local channels at startup, it finds them
to be unavailable.  This is why reloading app_queue.so fixes the issue.
