The syntax has changed a bit. Time was when the "devices=" line 
basically said "OK, that's this controller done with, let's commit that 
and start on the next one..."  With 0.6 (if I read it correctly) it goes :

[general]
.
.

[some_string]

group=1
isdnmode=did   <-- note this has changed  [DID/MSN]
incomingmsn=*
rxgain=1.0
txgain=0.8
controller=1
softdtmf=0
accountcode=
context=from-pstn
echosquelch=0
echocancel=yes
echotail=64
devices=2

[some_other_string]

group=1
isdnmode=did
incomingmsn=*
rxgain=1.0
txgain=0.8
controller=2
softdtmf=0
accountcode=
context=from-pstn
echosquelch=0
echocancel=yes
echotail=64
devices=2

Hope this helps...
