I believe that it is faxgetty that actually saves the fax; faxrcvd is
then called to dispatch it.  I'd check to make sure that faxgetty has
not inadvertantly gotten set to be SUID to someone who can't write to
whatever directory that your notification emails say the files are
supposed to have been left in.

I don't have sources on my laptop, but a quick strings(1) on faxqclean
(why *is* that a binary, BTW, guys?) suggests that it shouldn't be
touching the recvq, only the docq and doneq.

Anything interesting in your syslog?
