I have two distinct Google Voice numbers: my real number (GV#1) that I use for everything and a second one (GV#2).
GV#1 is set up to block calls from GV#2's number. If I place a call from GV#2 to GV#1, I hear a standard telco not in service intercept message. This is a standard feature of GV that can be used on any number you no longer wish to receive calls from.
So far, this all works completely independently of the OBi and is configured solely through the GV web interface.
What the OBi allows me to do is take all incoming calls on LINE (my POTS line), bridge those calls to SP2 (which is GV#2) and call GV#1. The caller on the LINE port hears the not in service intercept message.
I do this because I'm only using my POTS line for 911 and my home security system, I only want people calling me via GV#1 and I like messing with people.
It's a bit of a hack, but it works. I'd like if the OBi allowed me to upload my own intercept message to which I could route all LINE calls.

Thanks AndroidsOfTara. This works perfectly!
To clarify what has to be done:
Sign on to your GV1 account
Add your GV2# as a contact.
In the contact definition, click on "Edit Google Voice Settings"
Click on the dot next to "Send to Voice Mail"
Click on the down arrow next to "Send to Voice Mail"
Select "Block Caller"
Click on "Save"
In the OBi, add something like this {(?|8005551212):sp2(GV1#)} to the Line InBoundCallRoute
When an inbound call is routed to GV1, the caller will hear a Sit tone and a message. The Sit tone and message will repeat then they will get a busy tone.
I did it slightly differently. I had calls routed to SP1/GV1 and then GV1 call GV2. This way I only had to define one GV on the OBi, leaving SP2 for a SIP definition.
Update:
If you have the default InBoundCallRoute don't forget to change the "ph" to ",{ph}"
