I receintly found a problem while attempting to execute the following
type of command:
	uux !command <rmtsys!file

Uucico always returned permission denied.  I have traced the problem
down to the permissions on /usr/spool/uucp.  My uucp directory had a
mode of 755 as all work files are supposed to be placed in the
subdirectories (D., D.oliveb, etc.).

However the receive file command does not do subdir expansion.  I
consider this an error.  I came up with the following fix:
