asterisk users - Mar 2008 - Dynamic meetme conference creation with Authenticate (Asterisk 1.4.0)

I'm trying to use the password entered with Authenticate to create dynamic
meetme conferences with the following dial plan:

exten => _XXXXXXXXXX18467,1,Authenticate(/etc/asterisk/meetme.pw|a)
exten => _XXXXXXXXXX18467,n,MeetMe(CDR(accountcode)) ; 281-8467

However CDR(accountcode) is always being set to 1022 no matter what password
is used. The passwords are stored in a file so they can easily be changed.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Well, the obvious part is that you're entering a conference NAMED
"CDR(accountcode)", not a conference with the value INSIDE
CDR(accountcode).
Use MeetMe(${CDR(accountcode)}) to get that.

you need to put {} around the CDR(accountcode) like so, and add options 
to the meetme to make dynamic.

exten => _XXXXXXXXXX18467,n,MeetMe.${CDR(accountcode)}|dq
