[Asterisk-Users] Directory Application Context Issue

I have found out why I am having problems with the directory
application.
The problem is that the Directory application is not searching through
contexts properly.

Example:
extensions.conf
[default]
exten=>*,1,Directory(company)

exten=>556,1,Directory(default)
exten=>555,1,Voicemail2,u555
...


[company]
;Batman
exten=>401,1,Dial,Zap/5|15
exten=>401,2,Voicemail2,u401

***

voicemail.conf
...
[default]
555 => 555,Dick Grayson,dgrayson at mycompany.com

[company]
401 => 666,Bruce Wayne,bwayne at mycompany.com

Here's the situation:  If Dick Grayson records his name, and somebody
used the 556 directory to look up his name,
they will hear his recorded name.

If Bruce Wayne records his name, and somebody used the * directory to
look up his name, they will not hear his recorded name.
Why does this happen?
