$FAXFILE is a channel variable. It is "useable" in any context, extension 
and priority the channel visits. The example does not show what the 
context is. 6403 is the extension. n is the priority (but we don't know 
its value).

The error is not "invalid," it is "auto fallthrough."

A "show dialplan" may help.
