I thought I had this one fixed, but now it doesn't seem to work.  The
solution worked for a day and sent the sms messages as voicemails came
in. After that it didn't trigger the sms script at all.  I can run it
manually no problem, and the emails are still being sent for the
voicemail.  I updated asterisk to Asterisk
CVS-Nv1-0-9-07/03/05-16:25:44, but the symptoms persist.  Is there
anyway I can debug the externnotify command?  It doesn't repot
anything to the CLI.  I have tried writing to a log file in the
script, but its not getting that far.  I don't recall changing
anything once I got it working.  I didn't upgrade * until yesterday
when it had been playing up for a few days.

Any suggestions.
