I'd enable verbose logging and see what you can find there.  To do so:

1. Edit logger.conf
2. add the word "verbose" to the line "messages =>" (and make sure the
line is uncommented)
3. restart asterisk

Check it out to see what's going on.

WARNING:
Be very sure to disable verbose logging when you're done.  It will
generate a LOT of log entries, and can affect performance.
