Without knowing where you live, I have had this same trouble in the US - and it hasn't been the pharmacist who made the decision not to refill a prescription early, it was my insurance company.
Most insurance companies only authorize that prescriptions be dispensed every X number of days and no earlier. I called my insurance company well before I was to go on vacation and explained that I needed to get a refill earlier than authorized (as I would be out of the country for 3 weeks) and they did not have a problem accommodating me.
Hope this helps if you're ever in this situation again.
