Why are you using agi for this ? They are inbuild features of asterisk. 

Or may be I am missing something

Wow, thanks, that worked...in case anyone is interested this is what i did....
[voicemail]exten => a,1,VoiceMailMain(${MAILBOXID}@${MAILBOXCONTEXT},p)


in AGI...
$AGI->set_variable("MAILBOXID", $options);$AGI->set_variable("MAILBOXCONTEXT","4");$AGI->set_context("voicemail");

$AGI->exec("VoiceMail", $options);
now the question is how to I get the VoiceMailMain to not ask for "Mailbox" and already know which mailbox and just prompt for "Password"

Forgive me if i'm wrong, but you guys seem to be over complicating things.

Taken from: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+VoiceMail

during the prompt if the caller presses: 
 '*' - the call jumps to extension 'a' in the current voicemail context.  
    Example: 


    Exten => a, 1, VoicemailMain(@default) 
    Exten => a, 2, Hangup

When using the star '*' it's important to note that the context you placed the application voicemail in is irrelevant, it's the context for the voicemail box that we're looking for in the dialplan for the jump to the 'a' extension. 



So this is what i do...

Before passing the call to the voicemail app, i set ${MAILBOXCONTEXT} to the correct context, and i set ${MAILBOXID} to the mailbox name.

Then, in extensions.conf, I added this:-[voicemail]
exten => a,1,Playback(astcc-please-enter-your)


exten => a,n,VoicemailMain(${MAILBOXID}@${MAILBOXCONTEXT})When the user presses *, they are passed to the 'a' extension above and into VoicemailMain.

I'm sure you can turn this into AGI easily enough if needed.
