  Let me take a guess at this. I suspect that the system you are calling
does not have CR to NL mapping set (stty icrnl) at login. HDB is sending
a CR at the end of the string. If you want to send a NL and no CR, you
use the form "string\n\c". You could also check with the sysadmin there.

  This is an educated guess from someone who has run uucp on a lot of
boxes. No promise that it's right. HDB works for me just fine on a
number of machines, and I've seen the behavior you mention with other
uucp flavors.
