[Freeswitch-dev] Unable to access directory variable from channel

Hi, I set up a variable called "account-id" in the user directory xml file.

From the info app, I can't find the variable for variable_account-id. Also, in my C module, I tried to obtain the value with switch_channel_get_variable(channel,"account-id") and it is not returning null.

Does anyone know how I can access the user variable from within my mod? Thanks, JB
