After renaming the package to the recommended zaptel.tar.gz I am getting the same error.  Is it a problem with the interface, or could the permissions gotten b0rked for that subdirectory structure?

I did have success with my asterisk package which makes me wonder if it is just as I stated above... could be that there is a glitch in the way aur is handling that stuff, or maybe some how I got taken off as the maintainer?  Although originally that yielded a 'you do not have sufficient privileges to overwrite that package" so I don't think that is the case either.

just spit-balling without any real knowledge of how it's all setup on the backside.

Some information is saved in the database as well as the AUR filesystem.

Try renaming your tarball to just zaptel.tar.gz and let us know what
happens. I have a slight hunch on what might be causing this bug.
