Sorry for the top post - this is from my phone. 

Sounds like the issue may actually be with the AGI that is handling your ACD queue. I've used the built-in Queue() command to handle situations like you describe without running into the issues you detailed. And that's with Polycom phones, too. 

Without more details, I'm not sure how much help you're going to get. Show us some console output of the issue, capture the proper debug logs, etc, and perhaps you'll find more help. 

Thanks,
