FWIW, I don't see any possible way that this message won't be written on 
any system--other than by disabling general messages.

My recommendation is to shut down your master backend and restart it 
without /any/ -v arguments.  Run at the default verbosity, and you will 
almost definitely see those messages.  Then, feel free to try adding 
back some of the arguments you want to use, and you may figure out why 
you're not seeing it/why it's not using the verbose level you think it's 
using.

That said, do you really need to run with record,channel,siparser (and 
possibly schedule)?
