That should be OK, although it is usually located in "/usr/lib/fax". 
According to the standard in "/usr/sbin" should be only tools for 
administrative purposes and only root is allowed to use them.

Well, i'm not sure but i assume that root tries to use the device but 
isn't allowed to.

Try setting access for everyone with "chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0". If it works 
then, figure out in which user environment the fax-programs are run.
This should be uucp/fax.

Did you use a rpm-version of hylafax coming with SuSE-distribution prior 
to the self-compiled one? Did you erase it? May be any conflicts between 
the two versions (library etc.)?
Any special thing about the kernel? Is it working with the SuSE standard 
kernel?
