I've been using a folder action script on 10.3.9 to notify me of newly
received faxes and it works just fine.  Listed below is a simplified version
of the script I attached to the folder receiving faxes.

on adding folder items to FaxFolder after receiving NewItems
 set ReceiveDate to current date

 set NewFax to item 1 of NewItems

 tell application "Finder"
  set FaxName to name of NewFax

  if FaxName does not start with "FAX" or FaxName does not end with ¬
   ".pdf" or (ReceiveDate - (creation date of NewFax) > 120) then return
  -- stop if not fax or old item

  set FaxNum to text 10 thru -5 of FaxName
 end tell

 display dialog "A new fax has arrived from:" & return & FaxNum ¬
  buttons {"Cancel", "View"} default button 2 with icon note

 tell application "Finder" to open NewFax
end adding folder items to
