[c-nsp] Serial interface stuck in "reset" status.

Okay. Trying to bring up a T1 on a channel on a channelized t3 card in an AS5400. I've done this more than once and have other working T1's on the same t3 card.

I have the config on both ends; it's very simple.

On the AS5400...

controller T1 1/0:26
 shutdown
 framing esf
 channel-group 0 timeslots 1-20

[...]

interface Serial1/0:26:0
 description Glass Doctor (K1.HCFU.417839..SC)
 no ip address
 encapsulation ppp
 no cdp enable
 ppp multilink
 ppp multilink group 180025

One the remote side ...

controller T1 0/0
 framing esf
 linecode b8zs
 channel-group 0 timeslots 1-20 speed 56

[...]

interface Serial0/0:0
 no ip address
 encapsulation ppp
 ppp multilink
 ppp multilink group 1

The problem I am having is that the t1 controller seems to come up fine and error free...

... but the serial interface is stuck in "reset" status.

Strangely, it stays in reset status even if I turn the t1 down.

ArmoryPl-AS5400#show controller t1 1/0:26
T1 1/0:26 is administratively down.

I tried clear interface Serial1/0:26:0, to no avail. Still in reset status. What exactly does reset status mean and how could one channel on a t3 controller get stuck in that state?
