Is this a new AMI connection for each command? If so, that is the problem. Whenever a connection is made, Asterisk informs the connector that it is FullyBooted and it is safe to start sending commands. If it didn't do this, if multiple machines are making a new connection, only one of them would get notified.

The proper thing to do would be to maintain an open connection for sending commands, or to expect the command upon connection and only send after that. You are probably getting the message you expect after the FullyBooted response, so this would be a parsing error on your part. Assign an ActionID to the event you send and the response you are looking for will have that ActionID in it as well.
