asterisk users - Jul 2010 - Preserving CDR(accountcode) in Local channels

Greetings list,

Whilst running through a routine check of some CDRs, I've noticed that the 
originating channel's accountcode isn't preserved on creating a local 
channel. For example, if we start with:

exten => 123,1,Set(CDR(accountcode)=foo)
exten => 123,n,Queue(bar,nrtw,,,)

And the queue 'bar' is defined as follows:

[bar]
member => Local/456 at outbound
member => Local/567 at outbound
member => Local/568 at outbound

The 'accountcode' field is empty in the CDRs, even if I add /n to the
queue
members.

So, a couple of quick questions if I may:

1) Is this behaviour expected?

2) How would one go about the above scenario whilst preserving the 
'accountcode' field?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Chris

while setting up accountcode value try two underscores just before variable
name like '__accountcode'
