Sorry about the delay on replying.   I just reviewed the code, but I'm not
sure what the problem might be.  The relevant section is in
mh/lib/Voice_Cmd.pm around line 70:

                                 # Only need to define a new vocab once per
session
            unless ($cmd_vocabs{$vocab}) {
                &definevocab($vocab);
                $cmd_vocabs{$vocab}++;
            }

In theory, the definevocab command gets set onces per mh session (i.e. not
on reload, only on startup).  You might try adding some debug print
statements there (if you have the non-compiled version).  It might be that
the delays we have inserted into &definevocab are not big enough, so
viavoice_server does not have enough time to properly accept the commands.
Do you see any 'no data' messages from the viavoice_server console?

My viavoice_server box is not up at the moment, so I'm afraid I can not help
you debug this.
