The first thing asterisk does once it starts an AGI process is to send various details about the caller to your script's STDIN. You need to read all that in before issuing any commands.

Add the following to the top of your script:

declare -a array
while read -e ARG && [ "$ARG" ] ; do
	array=(` echo $ARG | sed -e 's/://'`)
	export ${array[0]}=${array[1]}
done

This will export various ENV variables containing the info asterisk is sending.

For more info look at the BASH resources on the Asterisk AGI page of voip-info.org. (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI)
