Yes, that is the reason. The easiest thing is probably to put in a delay
if os.execute allows full shell syntax:

> os.execute("mv /var/tmp/callback.call /var/tmp/asterisk/outgoing")

os.execute("(sleep 2;mv /var/tmp/callback.call /var/tmp/asterisk/outgoing)&")

Alternatively, you can set the mtime of the file you created in /var/tmp
to two or three seconds in the future - does lua have something like
file.utime or os.utime? The pbx spooler in Asterisk will not execute call
files with an mtime still in the future.

Cheers
