Unless your email got mangled a bit in transit, it appears that you need to
indent all the lines below each dialing profile section at least once space.
ie:

default:
   # command
   # command
   # etc

papchap:
   set phone <field>
   set authname <field>
   set authkey <field>
   

Give this a try.  Everything else look okay.
