[hylafax-users] Issues with FIFO.tty????

[edoceo <code@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So, when I use faxstate or other hylafax tools they cannot find my FIFOs
It says it cannot find the file but the file is there

Here's the last few lines from `strace /opt/hylafax/sbin/faxstate ttyACM0`
-----
brk(0)                                  = 0x226e000
brk(0x228f000)                          = 0x228f000
chdir("/opt/hylafax/spool")             = 0
open("FIFO.ttyACM0", O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)
ioctl(2, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
write(2, "FIFO.ttyACM0: open: No such devi"..., 45FIFO.ttyACM0: open:
No such device or address) = 45
write(2, "\n", 1
)                       = 1
exit_group(-1)                          = ?

So you can see it chdir, and open FIFO.ttyACM0 right? Says it's not there :(
But here's the file!

what gives?  Why it cannot find a FIFO that clearly exists?
