One obvious thing to try is to make sure that when you're making your
shell test that you are running the shell as the same user that
asterisk is running as.

Set your console to at least verbose = 3, and run the dialplan. What
do you get for the error?

I will say just looking at that code, you have a mess. It would be
simpler to debug if you made a short shell script that consisted of
something like

shebang /path/to/bash

PATH=$1
lame --arguments $1.wav $1.mp3
if [ -f {$1}.mp3 ] ; then
 rm {$1}.wav

and then call that script with the argument that is the path to the
file. Will make your dialplan easier to debug, and still get you the
equivalent functionality.

what version of asterisk are you using ?

if it's an older version of 1.8 (< 1.8.4) and you're also recording
the
call, you may be encountering a known bug.

This is how I use a wav to mp3 script on Mixmonitor in my dialplan
(Asterisk 1.8.7.0).
...
same => n,MixMonitor(${FILENAME},W(4),/var/spool/asterisk/wav2mp3
^{FILENAME})
...
and my script is...

#!/bin/bash

WAV="/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/$1"
MP3=$(echo $1 | sed 's/\.wav$/.mp3/')
MP3DEST="/var/spool/asterisk/mp3/$MP3"
/usr/bin/lame "${WAV}" "${MP3DEST}" --silent -b 16 -s 9.6 -m
m --bitwidth 8
--lowpass 9.6 --resample 8 --lowpass-width 1
