Pure guess is something to do with voicemail vs voicemail2. I just swapped
from voicemail to voicemail2 a couple of days ago, and the 'local' directory
on my machine is datestamped from exactly when I did the conversion. (The
only voicemail box within the 'local' directory is for an extension that I
was using for testing during the conversion.  All other extensions reside
in the 'default' directory, and voicemail2 is working fine with 7960's and
a Snom 200.)
