OK I see now. I didn't realize I'm using a SIP URI here (since I'm
only calling the user "locally") whose userinfo part can't contain the
at-sign (as found here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261#section-25.1).
The escaping doesn't do quite what I wanted, but thanks a lot for the effort.

I'll stick to what I'm doing now which is that I replace the at-sign
with a dot and take that as a username.
Sorry for the newbie question and thanks all for the answers.
