[arm-allstar] Echolink Problems

I'm trying to get echolink working on node 42287. I have an RF node 42284
and a "conference" node 42287. My plan is to activate echolink on 42287 and
then connect from 42284 when I want echolink connectivity.

I've built the config file echolink.conf as follows: (password is x'd out,
otherwise everything else is exactly as configured):

[el0]
confmode=no
call=K7OJL-L
pwd=xxxxxxx
name=Roland
qth=Hauula, HI
email=rolandksmith at gmail.com
maxstns=20
rtcptimeout=10
node=499821
recfile=/tmp/recorded.gsm
astnode=42287
context=radio-secure
server1=server1.echolink.org
server2=server5.echolink.org
server3=server3.echolink.org
;naeast.echolink.org
;nasouth.echolink.org
;servers.echolink.org
;backup.echolink.org
; Change following setting to your parameters
freq=147.495
tone=100.0
lat=21.618438
lon=-157.917803
power=5
height=0
gain=3
dir=0
;deny=
;permit=

When I restart asterisk, the following shows up in asterisk:

The port forwarding is set up in the router with 5198 and 5199 UDP
forwarded to the Pi and 5200 TCP allowed (although that shouldn't be
necessary as all outbound ports are allowed). The router logs (such as they
are) don't show anything remotely useful.

Where have I gone astray?

Thanks!
