Maybe I don't understand the problem, but UUCP DOES WORK on my machine.
To transfer a file to the DECstation at the Lab where I work, I type:
uucp file pslu1\!\~file

and the file is transfered.

I did have some trouble setting it up; try fooling with the permissions
on uucppublic, and make sure you have execute privs to uucp and related dirs.
