Just noticed...

The behavior I was noticing was because I had the outgoing call connecting
to (from?)  an extension defined in the dialplan.  When specifying an
'application' and 'data' in the ougoing call file, the application isn't
executed until the outgoing call is answered.

This will work great when I write another AGI for the outgoing wakeup
calls.  This will allow for snoozing as well as reading the time, weather,
and maybe messages waiting...
