Thanks Doug. What I'm seeing now is that ...

/usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt localplay $node /tmp/current_wx"

... is not playing locally from the wx_condition.sh script, or from the 
command line ... I must be missing something if it works for you.

[root at allstar sounds]# ls -l /tmp/current_wx.gsm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 75108 Jun 15 15:42 /tmp/current_wx.gsm

The file seems structured properly, as it plays well in audacity on 
another machine.
