asterisk users - Dec 2003 - Accountcodes

I'm trying  to  use accountcodes, but experiencing inconsistant 
results.  I have two * servers, one which  appears to be  working  as
expected and one not.  I would  like to prepend the device's accountcode
to the  dialed  number.  The  sip1 server does not seem to have the
${ACCOUNTCODE} variable set when reading the extensions.conf, but sip2
server does.

What troubleshooting or trace information can I review to determine the
cause? 

sip server #1

sip.conf

[2105]
type=friend
username=2105
secret=105
canreinvite=no
host=dynamic
;context=from-sip
mailbox=2105
nat=yes
accountcode=22222

extensions.conf

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${ACCOUNTCODE}#${EXTEN}@200.62.15.251)

sip server #2

sip.conf

[2108]              
type=friend
username=2108
secret=108
canreinvite=no
host=dynamic
context=from-sip
mailbox=2108
nat=yes
callerid=9549778081
accountcode=12345

extensions.conf

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${ACCOUNTCODE}#${EXTEN}@200.62.15.251)


Thanks,
