Error message - unable to exec /usr/sbin/faxsend ??



I installed hylafax-4.0pl2-3rh5 on my Linuc Mandrake 5.3 system using an
rpm I got from 
ftp://ftp.hylafax.org/hylafax/binary/.  My kernel is 2.2.6.

I have run faxsetup and faxmodem to initialize the configuration.  I can
post those files if that would be helpful. I think it all installed
correctly. The fax deamons appear to be running as is faxgetty.

The problem is, I can't send a fax.  Each time I try, the modem never
dials and I get the following error report back in my local Linux mail:

	Subject: facsimile job 12 to 1-914-xxx-xxx failed
 
	Your facsimile job to 1-914-xxx-xxxx failed because:
    		Send program terminated abnormally; unable to exec
/usr/sbin/faxsend
 
I tried a manual dial with minicom and also sendfax ...  Those worked.

Can anyoue point me in the direction oc a solution?

Query commands report:
