How To Use Mixmonitor When Transfering A Call

    I am having a problem with my recordings.  Mixmonitor is called in the “macro” when you dial an extension.  If that call is transferred to another extension then the recording is reset and we lose the recording for the original call.  How can I tell Mixmonitor to keep recording and not reset?  I have the “a” option set in mixmonitor to append and not overwrite.  Is there a way to know if Mixmonitor has already started on this call and avoid executing it again when transferred?  This is what I
use:

[ Context ‘grabar’ created by ‘pbx_config’ ]
  ‘s’ =>            1. Set(MONITOR_FILE=${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y)}/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%m)}/${UNIQUEID}.wav)
[extensions.conf:0]
                    2. Mixmonitor(${MONITOR_FILE},ba) [extensions.conf:0]
                    3. Return() [extensions.conf:0]

    On every transfer the recording starts again at the moment. I
thought the “a” option would simply append to the file and keep going. 
Any ideas?
