I think I see what's going on. In your echolink.conf file you have [general] and [285486] sections and that would make sense if this file followed the conventions used in other .conf files. That doesn't work here. The channel driver is looking for one or more sections with one section mapping to one instance. In addition, each instance needs to have all of the needed variables/values. In your case, the [general] section/instance does not have the "callsign =" variable.
Option #1 : follow the sample .conf that uses a single [el0] instance
