[Buddy Brannan]

This is not correct.

The startup macro really can be any string of commands. 

The reason that your macro is probably not connecting at startup is that your /var/lib/asterisk/rpt_extnodelist file hasn’t yet populated, or in any case, asterisk doesn’t yet know where the nodes are in order to connect to them.
