Greg, I just configured a system similarly with no problems. Did you perchance put the speak command in /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin? Typing the speak command on a command line would work either way, but I think speech-dispatcher wants it to be in /usr/bin. -- The Moon is Waning Crescent (1% of Full) Only 10 kinds of people: those who do binary, and those who do not.
