Those errors are generally present when the actual channel is unavailable. For example, if you have a sip peer with qualify on and it has become unreachable, you will see it.

If you did a

cat /var/log/asterisk/full | grep 13322, it would show us a full call trace for that particular call so we could comment on it better.

Hope this helps.
