Hi-
I've been going through the same upgrade process recently, and had the 
same error (shown in your other message).  I had forgotten that the 
equipment I was plugged in to was CPE, so I had to change my new setting 
for that span to "NET" rather than CPE.  I notice in your old zapata 
files that you had CPE for two spans and NET for the other two, and your 
dahdi_chan setup is set up the same.  But I'm thinking perhaps during 
testing you plugged a CPE on your new setup to a CPE on the other, which 
would produce the symptoms you see.
