Are you _sure_ you started as a module, as described in the man page?
This sounds like what you'd see if you just started it normally. When
reporting bugs it's always best to cut and paste the problem
code/text/whatever; in this case please show us your InitFunction. It
should contain something like:
+ "I" Module FvwmCommandS
Note the "Module" here, not "Exec" or similar.

You can't do that. You can't invoke a module from the command line like
that. Modules and FVWM uses pipes to talk to each other; a module
_MUST_ be spawned by the fvwm program so that these pipes exist
properly. There's no way to test a module by running it from the
command line; the error you got is exactly what I'd expect to see.
HTH.
