IAX2 connection between sites gives no such context/extension with cause code 3

When we call from site a to site b with the 4-digit extension then the call will go through just fine. If we call from site b to site a then I get an error as follows:

Based off of what I see the context is priv. Can you give me any ideas where to look for this problem?

The context used for incoming calls on IAX at site a is defined in the file /etc/asterisk/iax.conf. There should be a section that defines how to handle connections from each "user", it looks like this:
[siteb_username]
type=user
context=mycontext
auth=md5
secret=user_pass
permit=<site_b_IP_address>

At site b, to make the call, there will be a peer definition in the iax.conf file somewhat like this:
[sitea_iax]
type=peer
username=siteb_username
auth=md5
secret=user_pass
host=<site_a_IP_address>
qualify=yes

These are one-way connections. I've shown what is needed for site b to call site a. These are required in addition to any existing entries that define the site b peer in site a and the site a user in site b.

Based on your comment then the context in the iax_custom.conf file should be priv correct?

Here is what my iax config looks like on both machines, they are the exact same on both. Any ideas why it's not using this priv?

[priv]
type=friend
dbsecret=dundi/secret
context=dundi-priv-local
trunk=yes

[dundi]
type=user
dbsecret=dundi/secret
context=dundi-e164-local
trunk=yes

Thanks!!!
