After someone sent me an email saying his directed pickup did not work.  I
realized I forgot to mention that directed pickup needs to be enabled in
extensions.conf i.e. add the following
                          exten=>_*8.,1,SET(GLOBAL(PICKUPMARK)=${EXTEN:2})
exten => _*8.,n,Pickup(${EXTEN:2}@PICKUPMARK)
