Do you use official debs (where sound resides under
/usr/share/asterisk/sound )?

Does Record("/full/path") record to /full/path or to /full/path
relativly to the default sound files path?

And natuarally: can the asterisk user write there? Please provide the
output of the following:

  groups asterisk
  ls -la /var/local/whois-messages/
