Well, RTM caused this confusion.  The '~' was supposed to be expanded to the
path in the passwd file.  It doesn't get expanded.  So use:

uucp adaptex!/usr/spool/uucppublic/scsiutil/list /usr/spool/uucppublic/list

To obtain any of the files, replace the word 'list' in the above uucp command
with the name of the file.  I found two local systems to try this and it worked
so no more guessing and believing what I read anymore.  Do not use wildcards
when requesting files.
