If you get the AMI part working you will no longer need to do SIP 
reloads and this becomes academic.

Hi, Have a look at this page

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+manager+API

Further down the page it has links to using the AMI with different 
programming languages including example classes. In the end I ended up 
writing my own class as I was only doing 3 or 4 things with the AMI and 
didn't need the rest.  All you are doing is opening a socket on the 
asterisk machine and writing to and reading from it so it's not exactly 
rocket science.

I went through exactly the problems you are having myself a fair few 
months ago. It took me a day or 2 to get it all sorted out in my test 
environment so it's not too difficult to implement.
