did you create the file in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/, or did you
create it elsewhere and then move it to that directory? The docs mention
that if the file is created in the outgoing directory, * may read the file
before you've finished writing it. But if you create the file elsewhere
and then move it, the entire contents are guaranteed to be in the
filesystem when * finds it. This might explain the difficulty you're
having..
