You did see the above, did you.

Did you maybe upgrade from 1.2 to 1.6? Taken from UPGRADE.txt on a 1.4 
system:

"WARNING: Asterisk 1.4 supports a new layout for sound files in multiple 
languages; instead of the alternate-language files being stored in 
subdirectories underneath the existing files (for French, that would be 
digits/fr, letters/fr, phonetic/fr, etc.) the new layout creates one 
directory under /var/lib/asterisk/sounds for the language itself, then 
places all the sound files for that language under that directory and its 
subdirectories. This is the layout that will be created if you select non-
English languages to be installed via menuselect, HOWEVER Asterisk does 
not default to this layout and will not find the files in the places it 
expects them to be. If you wish to use this layout, make sure you put 
'languageprefix=yes' in your /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf file, so that 
Asterisk will know how the files were installed."
