faxcron is just a shell script, so you can execute it with
sh -x
and see what happens.

It does
find -mtime +7
so go into /var/spool/hylafax and try
find recvq -type f -mtime +7 -print 
and see which files get printed

Note that you chose a bad example, 0731 0808, "find" may round something; I'd be
worried if the days passed were at least 9.

$ touch -t 200107312359 file1
$ find -mtime +7
$ ls -l file1
-rw-rw-r--   1 go       go              0 Jul 31 23:59 file1
$ date
Wed Aug  8 18:33:07 CEST 2001
$ find -mtime +6
./file1
$

try waiting until tomorrow
