Hmmm. This one looks OK to me (hfaxd running as uucp and the
tty owned by uucp and with read and write permissions).

Let's see your original post...

Ah-ha. Seems I've been sleeping! Hylafax tries to create a
fifo in (usually) /var/spool/fax/

After calling faxaddmodem there should be a FIFO.ttySHSF0 in
there. If not -- what is keeping faxaddmodem from creating
it?

You might try either to answer this question (e.g. by using
strace) or just adding the FIFO by hand (mkfifo, then chown
to uucp.uucp, then chmod 600).

Ask if anything is unclear.
