LOL the permissions shouldn't be a problem.

>Redirecting Zap/1-1 to fax extension

Isn't this line supposed to say detected fax, redirected to fax 
extension?  Are you doing anything weird in Extensions.conf?

Also check the volume of the incoming audio by typing:

/usr/src/zaptel/ztmonitor x -v

(where x is the incoming channel i.e 1 or 2 or 3 etc)

The bar should go pretty close to the right hand side of the line, 
but shouldn't sit at the top.

How's it look for you?
