This probably is related to the format in which one server is presenting the 
extension to the other server, and your extension definition(s) not matching 
that format.  (For instance, something could be stripping the leading zero 
from the STD code.)  So you need to find out exactly what the far end is 
sending the number to you like, so you can make sure your extensions match.
 
In the "s" extension in your [incoming] context, put a line like
 
exten => s,n,NoOp(Dialled extension is "${EXTEN}")
 
Dial through to the first server, and watch the console on the second server to 
make sure the call comes through.  Note the format in which the extension is 
presented, and make sure your extension definitions match that.
 
 
Also, do not forget, "wildcard" extensions which can match more than one thing 
must begin with an underscore; e.g.
 
exten => _3xx,1,NoOp(Call to "${EXTEN}" on B site)
exten => _3xx,n,Dial(${BSITE}/${EXTEN})
exten => _3xx,n,Hangup()
 
Even although there be characters in the extension name which will mark it out 
as an obvious wildcard, Asterisk still expects for there to be an _ at the 
beginning in order to treat it as such.
