First of I recommend updating to SVN Trunk which will be 1.0.1 very  
soon.

I personally don't use the %,  But it denotes to look locally for a  
registered user vs trying to send the call to the remote domain.  In  
both cases the ringback should be on the bridge side.

originate sofia/default/1000%blah &bridge({ringback=blah.wav}sofia/ 
1234 at switch)

This seems to be one of the biggest things that people misunderstand.   
Just because you set a variable on the A-Leg doesn't mean its  
automatically on the B-Leg.  There are a few that are magically  
exported to the B-Leg and I'll try to get those on the wiki to make  
sure people know what they are.  The others you'll need to export or  
set them on the B-Leg like I showed you in the example above.
