Can you post the relevant section of extensions.conf from the machine
that is answering the call and please state the asterisk versions of
both?

Also there's really no need to use ",tr" in your macro dialstring.
Removing it can only help. I bet you have an "r" on the other end and
the call is answered to send the ringing tone when it should be sent
out of band. Just a guess because I can't see your other dialplan.
