[Voyage-linux] cannot connect to remote asterisk

[toni]

I'm having trouble running asterisk 1.6.2.10 when voyage-linux 0.6.5 is 
in read-only mode.
Nevertheless, I added the folder ~/asterisk-bin/run/asterisk to 
VOYAGE-SYNC_DIRS.
On starting asterisk, the folder ~/asterisk-bin/run/asterisk gets 
populated with asterisk.ctl and asterisk.pid.
But when I try to connect to asterisk with 'asterisk -rvvv', I get the 
error:

   == Parsing '/home/asterisk/asterisk-bin/asterisk/asterisk.conf':   == 
Found
   == Parsing '/home/asterisk/asterisk-bin/asterisk/extconfig.conf':   
== Found
Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does 
/home/asterisk/asterisk-bin/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?)

On boot, voyage-linux also fails to go into read-only mode, stating 
'Remounting / as read-only ... mount: / is busy '

Whenever I put voyage-linux in read-write mode and start asterisk 
manually, asterisk doesn't show this error any more.
I have tried putting the folder on a separate, read-write partition, but 
it was no use, except again in read-write mode.

Is there some other file/folder which needs to be read-write? Is there 
some workaround?
(This should be the last step in getting asterisk to work on 
voyage-linux...)
