What do you see in the console of asterisk when you do the transfer?
You might want to turn debuging on to see what * is saying.

Are you using # sign to transfer?

Also, are you running current code?

It can be frustrating.

We had a similar problem using AgentCallBackLogin.  We were 
specifying a context to AgentCallbackLogin and that context 
only had extensions defined for the agents' extensions.  
Since * uses the current context for transfers this can be a 
problem.  The solution to all of this was to 
SetVar(TRANSFER_CONTEXT=<context that can transfer>) before 
you call Dial(<device>,20,t).  Then * uses the context that 
you specified to use for transfers.

Fixed a similar problem for us,
