With one caveat, to the OP:  did you upgrade a box, or is this a completely
new install?  If this is a new install, I'd understand, as the compatibility
options are designed to keep with 1.4 behavior only if you've upgraded (i.e.
the asterisk.conf is left over from 1.4).  For new installs, the default
asterisk.conf behavior is designed to get new users used to the
comma-separation of application delimiters, without any indication (other than
in UPGRADE.txt) that any other behavior existed.
