Also make sure Asterisk allows connects to the AMI from your system. On our 
1.09 the file to check is /etc/asterisk/manager.conf and the setting "permit" 
and "deny" in [admin]. I wondered a while why I got "Connection refused" 
until I understood to check and change that setting (the default seems to be 
to only allow 127.0.0.1 to connect).
