The gneral way to debug somethign like this is to "wrap" faxrcvd.

Create a simple wrapper in /tmp/faxrcvd-wrapper.sh:
	#!/bin/sh

	echo "faxrcvd $*" > /tmp/faxrcvd-$$.log
	echo "==================================" >> /tmp/faxrcvd-$$.log
	exec /bin/sh -x bin/faxrcvd "$@" >> /tmp/faxrcvd-$$.log 2>&1

Make sure it's executable (chmod 755 /tmp/faxrcvd-wrapper.sh), and set
faxgetty to use it:
	$SPOOL/etc/config.<devid>
		FaxRcvdCmd: /tmp/faxrcvd-wrapper.sh

You should see faxgetty use this wrapper now, and you should have files
appear in /tmp:
	/tmp/faxrcvd-XXXXXX.log

And we can start looking at those to see why things aren't working.
Feel free to send one directly to me.
