Your local phone number looks like it contains an area code (050...).

As far as I remember, you should remove the area code from your local 
numbers (I might be wrong about that - if so, would please somebody correct 
me? - but depending on your telco provider your PBX might reject the 
outgoing call if you're using a wrong local number).

The calling party number (local number, outgoing call) has to contain only 
the MSN without any area or country code by a definition of the ITU (again, 
as far as I remember).

As far as I remember means I haven't used an ISDN device on a direct telco 
connection for a while. I'm using all devices behind a PABX and the 
addressing is different within the local network.

At least when quoting, would you please cut down the quote to a reasonable 
amount?

Helmut or Gary should have a better understanding about these error 
messages but I guess the really important thing is 'SETUP not answered' 
(which AFAIK should mean the remote side didn't accept the call or there's 
no device listening at the remote side or the call won't be established by 
the PBX. I would guess there's any phone number wrong (see my note about 
the area code).
