... and now you need help without providing more pieces of your code.
Any other exits before the last line?

Did you try to run it from the command line as user uucp / fax???
Does it work then also?

I regret, without more info about your code, you can't expect more help.

These "bad exit" messages i only know from old faxrcvd versions working 
with never releases of hylafax, because the old ones expected *exactly* 
4 parameters and exited with status "1" if more or less were passed. 
Newer versions of faxrcvd check for *at least* xx parameters.

They are usually passed, if faxgetty gets them ... . AFAIK, DID purpose 
and configuration of sending device.
