asterisk users - Jul 2009 - AGI Transfer?

I've been trying to get an AGI "transfer" to work for several
weeks now.  It
isn't error-ing out, but it isn't working either.

I can't use "dial" in this case due to what I'm trying to
accomplish.

Does an AGI Transfer actually work?

-= Info about application 'Transfer' =-

[Synopsis]
Transfer caller to remote extension

[Description]
Transfer([Tech/]dest[|options]): Requests the remote caller be transferred
to a given destination. If TECH (SIP, IAX2, LOCAL etc) is used, only
an incoming call with the same channel technology will be transfered.
Note that for SIP, if you transfer before call is setup, a 302 redirect
SIP message will be returned to the caller.

The result of the application will be reported in the TRANSFERSTATUS
channel variable:
SUCCESS Transfer succeeded
FAILURE Transfer failed
UNSUPPORTED Transfer unsupported by channel driver
The option string many contain the following character:
'j' -- jump to n+101 priority if the channel transfer attempt
fails

Thanks!!

Does executing the transfer application in an AGI using the AGI exec 
command work? Yes.

I enabled "agi debug" (1.2) and this is what my console shows:

AGI Rx << exec transfer steve
     -- AGI Script Executing Application: (transfer) Options: (steve)
AGI Tx >> 200 result=0
     -- AGI Script null-agi completed, returning 0
     -- Executing Verbose("SIP/sp501-09834430", "1|TRANSFERSTATUS
= SUCCESS") in new stack
  TRANSFERSTATUS = SUCCESS

Extension steve dialed my deskset. I answered and I had audio.

I did notice that (in 1.2) "result=0" and "TRANSFERSTATUS =
SUCCESS"
regardless of the validity of the extension.

AGI Rx << exec transfer bogus
     -- AGI Script Executing Application: (transfer) Options: (bogus)
AGI Tx >> 200 result=0
     -- AGI Script null-agi completed, returning 0
     -- Executing Verbose("SIP/sp501-09834230", "1|TRANSFERSTATUS
= SUCCESS") in new stack
  TRANSFERSTATUS = SUCCESS

Looking back at your original post back on June 24, you've omitted what 
may be an important detail in this post. Then, you included the 
"conversation" between Asterisk and your AGI. The following may shed
some
light:

AGI Rx << EXEC transfer "SIP/101"

Any chance 101 is the SIP username instead of the extension in the current 
context that will (eventually) dial the desired phone?

Thanks in advance,
