Asterisk is telling You that the file (newel) could not be found (under /var/lib/asterisk/sounds and it’s language-specific subdirectories).
Are You sure, You stored the file there and it’s readable for the asterisk-process?

It will be looking for files like newel.wav, newel.gsm, etc., not plain newel.

@david55: Sure, I missed this in my answer: The soundfile needs to have the correct extension advertising the sound-format it’s coded in.
