Just a long shot -- if the trouble started happening when you started
doing some of this:

	uucp remote!file file
or
	uucp remote!path/*.c path

instead of this

	uucp file remote!file

then it might be that the remote system wants to be called by its
proper name (i.e. /etc/siteid contents under Xenix 3.0).  Did I notice
that you call it aaa but it thinks its name is something else???
