You'll want to start debugging your etc/FaxAccounting script by putting 
this at the top of it right after the shebang (#!...)

set -x
exec 2> /tmp/FaxAccounting.$$

Then cause accounting activity to occur and then examine 
/tmp/FaxAccounting.<pid> to see what the matter is.  If the /tmp file is 
not being created then it means that FaxAccounting is not being executed 
at all for some reason... thus you'd want to verify your installation, etc.

Thanks,

Lee.
