Two possibilities spring to mind:

1) You are not listed in the receiving systems L.sys file and uucp
was made with the NOSTRANGERS option turned on.

2) Your uucp may send the hostname as turtlev or something shorter than
the full name and the receiving site does not have that set as a valid
alias in the L.alias file.

Both require action at the receiving site, or you can recompile your
uucp such that you send the complete name in the imsg.
(See uucpname.c and cico.c for the places to change the code.)

As far as I know, nothing with be broken if you send the full name
to any uucp.... those that like it to be shorter will truncate it 
themselves.
