Well it creates the mailboxes just fine.

I have discovered the problem in the messages logfile.  Somehow this 
invocation of asterisk is trying to put the voicemail in the wrong place:

Oct 18 18:44:10 WARNING[262161]: File file.c, Line 769 (ast_writefile): 
Unable to open file 
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/voicemail/default/5120/busy.gsm: No such file 
or directory

I'm assuming asterisk must figure that out dynamically when it is 
started up, because the binaries and modules, etc., are the same for 
several incarnations of asterisk that I run, and only this one seems to 
be looking in the wrong directory for the voicemail stuff.

I've grepped myself blind, and can't yet figure out how that's getting 
set wrong.

Just for fun, I symlinked /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail to 
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/voicemail, and things work just fine.

What did I hose, I wonder, and especially, how??

Thanks.
