Like it says, you need to set pipe_transport in the director - tell it
what transport to use if it finds a pipe. There is a transport for piping
in the default config, so you probably want something like:
pipe_transport = address_pipe
You may additionally want to look at the config of that transport - to
make sure it does what you want.
