Looks like 1) the home directory of the host is not in /usr/spool/whatever ?
2) UUCP/HDB is using the default COMMANDS option which may not include 'uucp'?
3) directory permissions for read is ok for /usr/spool (which is why the first
part of the uuto worked) but can't write. Your unix has a top down permissions
problem ? i.e. /usr is 755 and /usr/spool is 777 and you can't write due to
/usr ?

I would check your default commands for 'uhnix1'.  Also check the home
directory of 'uhnix1' and the permissions.  I think that should solve it.

Me? I have a brain damaged CCI Unix UUCP (OLD L.sys type)....

ANYONE AT CCI READING THIS???
