Notice:

[root@gollum hylafax]# fax2ps -W 8.7 -H 10.6 /tmp/notafile
TIFFOpen: /tmp/notafile: Cannot open.
/tmp/notafile: Can not open, or not a TIFF file.
%%Trailer
%%Pages: 0
%%EOF
[root@gollum hylafax]#

So make sure to check on that $FILE before unconditionally pushing it 
through fax2ps and to your printer:

if [ -r $FILE ]; then
   $TIFFBIN/fax2ps -W 8.7 -H 10.6 $FILE|lp -dsales
fi
