Try upgrading to 1.6.1.13. You're using a version of Asterisk from early 
December 2009. Doing a search for closed issues on the Asterisk issue tracker at 
https://issues.asterisk.org caused me to find bug 15609 
(https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=15609) which was committed on December 
30, 2009.

On January 11, 2010, Asterisk version 1.6.1.13-rc1 was created which contains 
the commit from December 30, 2009, and was subsequently released as 1.6.1.13 on 
January 15, 2010.
