I've done something similar here.  I mounted the remote SMB share on the 
Hylafax server with UID and GID options set to the uucp user/group so 
the Hylafax process would have the ability to write to the location. 
Then rather than modifying the faxrcvd file, I put the logic inside the 
FaxDispatch file.  The variables set withing faxrcvd are available 
within FaxDispatch when it's sourced.  This way I avoided changing the 
provided scripts and won't need to worry about my customization being 
lost during an upgrade.

The variable $FILE seems to contain a reference to the received fax's 
file name with the recq folder included.  This appears to be the 
relative path necessary for referencing the file at the time FaxDispatch 
is sourced.  Also $FILENAME contains just the base file name without the 
directory or extension.  With these two I was able to put the file on 
the network share with a command like the following:

cp $FILE $DESTPATH/$FILENAME.tiff

Hope this helps.
