You did see the above, did you.

'en')

Did you maybe upgrade from 1.2 to 1.6? Taken from UPGRADE.txt on a 1.4
system:

"WARNING: Asterisk 1.4 supports a new layout for sound files in multiple
languages; instead of the alternate-language files being stored in
subdirectories underneath the existing files (for French, that would be
digits/fr, letters/fr, phonetic/fr, etc.) the new layout creates one
directory under /var/lib/asterisk/sounds for the language itself, then
places all the sound files for that language under that directory and its
subdirectories. This is the layout that will be created if you select non-
English languages to be installed via menuselect, HOWEVER Asterisk does
not default to this layout and will not find the files in the places it
expects them to be. If you wish to use this layout, make sure you put
'languageprefix=yes' in your /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf file, so that
Asterisk will know how the files were installed."
