asterisk users - Sep 2009 - Skype for Asterisk callfile question

Hi list,

To make outgoing calls by skype i would like to have our crm app create 
callfiles like we do for normal calls.

If i read the instructions it says this :
---quote---
The syntax for making an outgoing call using Skype for Asterisk is as 
follows:
Dial(Skype/[<originator>@]<destination>)
---unquote---


So i create a callfile that looks like this:
---
Channel: SIP/228
MaxRetries: 0
Dial(Skype/asteriskpbx at somebodyonskype)
Priority: 1
Callerid: Somebodyonskype <somebodyonskype>
---
SIP/228 is my desk phone, i purposely did not include a context (is it 
necessary for Skype calls? i guess not because i also did not create a 
'dial plan' for it, should be just dump and go i guess)

But i guess something must be wrong on my dial string :
[Sep  2 09:39:10] NOTICE[8834]: pbx_spool.c:255 apply_outgoing: Syntax 
error at line 3 of /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/REMCO.CALL

[Sep  2 09:39:10] WARNING[8834]: pbx_spool.c:482 scan_thread: Failed to 
scan service '/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/REMCO.CALL'

Where am i going wrong?

Thanks!!

You're combining technologies there :)

You can do:

Channel
Context
Extension
Priority

Or

Channel
Application
Data

Looks like you want

Channel: SIP/228
Application: Dial
Data: Skype/asteriskpbx at somebodyonskype
