I fixed this when I first got the system and have not had a problem since.
If memory serves, which it may not, it was a quoting problem in the
file uushell.  The last line in mine looks like:

env "TZ=`/bin/cat /etc/TIMEZONE`" /usr/lib/uucp/uucico

If your's is quoted differently that may be the problem.  If your's 
is quoted the same then my memory failed and I have no idea what
your bug is.
