I had exactly the same problem when I attempted to upgrade from version
3. I tracked it down to it being something to do with the fact that
hfaxd is running in a chroot'd environment. I created every possible
device entry I could think of in the spool/fax/dev directory but
couldn't get it to work. 

I eventually gave up and went back to version 3. If you find or hear
anything I'd appreciate it if you could pass it on.
