Alright.  I missed what vmain actually does in the voicemail config.  It actually calls the extension named vmain in the dialplan.  So if you don't have this then you will need to have one.  Thanks for asking this question because my voicemail auth was broken and I didn't even know it!  I fixed it and a working extension for vmain can look like this.

    <extension name="vmain">
      <condition field="destination_number" expression="^vmain$|^voicemail$|^\*98$|^\*86$">
        <action application="answer"/>
        <action application="set" data="voicemail_authorized=false"/>
        <action application="sleep" data="200"/>
        <action application="voicemail" data="check default $${domain} ${effective_caller_id_number}"/>
      </condition>
    </extension>
