As I'm sure you know, ${EXTEN} is the value of the currently executing
extension, in the example above your line would be parsed as:
exten => s-NOANSWER,n,VoiceMail(s-NOANSWER at usersmail)  You would have
seen this if you were watching the Asterisk console when a call failed
to go to Voicemail.

Find some other way.  You could save the value of EXTEN in a different
variable before the Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1), but there are many, many,
many other ways.
