Now I can send the incoming faxes to the printer with the above command.
The reason was very simple ;-)

I also get a email from the Hylafax agent

Yes I do. I 've removed this statement from FaxDispatch at all, because
I'm using it in faxrecvd. The only problem i face now is the shared
printer is installed as a RAW printer in the server (drivers at cleint
side). So there is a problem printing to this shared printer. However I
can print to the local printer connected to the server.

This was the point. I couldn't manually use this at the command prompt.
Probably the faxrecvd wasn't executable. After chmod +x faxrcvd it
worked. But then the parameter wasn't the actual problem right? anyway I
changed $5 to $7 in both facrcvd and FaxDispatch.

Thanks again
