It sure looks like a permission problem in $SPOOL/log.

If you're sure that faxgetty is running as UUCP, and all the files under
/var/spool/hylafax/log are owned by UUCP, you will have to do something
like strace faxgetty and see why i isn't able to open those files and
write to those files:
	strace -s 80 -o <some file> -tt -p <PID>
