Since you are ringing multiple extensions, have you tried looking at the 
Callgroup and pickupgroup options in sip.conf ?
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+callgroups+and+pickupgroups
Its not directed pickup, but might be a better fit to what you are 
trying to achieve.

Scroll approx. one 3rd of the way down the page to where there is a 
large bold bit of text saying:


    Example using PICKUPMARK for Asterisk 1.4

[macro-inbound]
 exten => s,1,Set(_PICKUPMARK=${MACRO_EXTEN})
 exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/SomeSipPhone,20,rwt)

Something similar may work in your case perhaps ?
