I suppose you are trying to use the "sawfish-client", i think the
default is to send error messages to your ~/.xsession-errors, i've
read somewhere that you can change it to stderror.

I'm far from  a Sawfish expert, said that i wasn't able to find the
"window-maximize-fullscreen" function. After issuing

(require 'sawfish.wm.state.maximize)

i was able to use the "maximize-window-toggle" function as suggested by Yoshiaki

(maximize-window-toggle (input-focus))

Hope this could help.
