It makes sure that those files (faxcron, faxqclean, xferfaxlog) exist.

Well, it's my opinion that if you need to archive your faxes somewhere 
long-term then you should do it somewhere else other than the HylaFAX 
queue directories.  I think that it's generally a bad idea to never run 
faxqclean and to never delete files from recvq.  BUT, you may get away 
with it without any trouble.

Thanks,
