Dough,

I see that you use "cp" to copy the call file to spool directory, that
is not recommended, use "mv" instead since it is a atomic command whitch
"cp" isnt.

So an if you change it to :

exten => 4173,1,GotoIfTime(07:45-17:00|mon-fri|*|*?press-officehours,s,1)
exten => 4173,n,System(/bin/cp /usr/local/bin/bullhorn.call /temp/bullhorn.call)
exten => 4173,n,System(/bin/mv /temp/bullhorn.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/bullhorn`date +%s`.call)
exten => 4173,n,Dial(SIP/4173,15,tT)
exten => 4173,n,Goto(analog-extensions,4173,1)

should solve it.
