It's not clear from your descriptions; but if you have at least one machine 
where it's working properly, then you need to work out what is different 
between that "working" and your "non-working" installations.

The fact of it not responding to realtime changes certainly suggests a 
misconfiguration somewhere; one or more modules is not expecting things to 
change, and so picking up on it when they do.  So the question now becomes:  
What is the minimum you need to do, to persuade your Asterisk to accept the 
new configuration?

"core restart now" is a pretty big sledgehammer to be using to crack the nut 
of a configuration file not being reread.  Try "core reload" or even "voicemail 
reload".  And then once you've found the module whose config you need to reload 
explicitly, that is where the misconfiguration most probably resides.
