My guess would be that you have a problem with line endings.

All lines received from the manager interface are terminated with \r\n,
not just \n. If you only strip the \n off, the channel name you received
will contain \r at the end. If you then send that back in the setvar
command with a further \r\n to terminate the line, then Asterisk will
probably not find a matching channel.

Make sure you strip both \r and \n from incoming lines.

Cheers
Tony
