Problem with auto-attendant config, I think..

  I was making some updates to my attendant config, which is really very
basic, and now incoming call processing stopped.  Not sure exactly what the
heck happened, but figured maybe someone could help me with a clue as to what
broke.   Now incoming calls are not being answered at all, no matter what I
do, which is quite annoying to say the least.

 Here is some log output from the server:

Sure looks like it is trying to answer, but I keep hearing ringing on the
incoming side.   If I look at my config for aa_2 I see:

[aa_2]
include => aa_2-custom
exten => fax,1,Goto(ext-fax,in_fax,1)   ; 
exten => h,1,Hangup()   ; 
exten => i,1,Playback(invalid)  ; 
exten => i,2,Goto(s,7)  ; 
include => ext-local
include => app-messagecenter
include => app-directory
exten => s,1,GotoIf($[${DIALSTATUS} = ANSWER]?4)        ; 
exten => s,2,Answer()   ; 
exten => s,3,Wait(1)    ; 
exten => s,4,SetVar(DIR-CONTEXT=general)        ; 
exten => s,5,DigitTimeout(3)    ; 
exten => s,6,ResponseTimeout(7) ; 
exten => s,7,Background(custom/aa_2)    ; 



Heck and I thought I had this thing running well, and then it all breaks.  If
anyone can point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated..
