ie 'uuto file b!c!user' or commands to that effect?

Without a default COMMANDS line in the appropriate Permissions file
entry, the uux-able commands are limited to a compile-time default.
Typically these are rmail and rnews. To get multi-hop uucp to work:

	COMMANDS=rmail:rnews:uucp

*ON THE INTERMEDIATE SYSTEMS*!!! The source and target systems do not
and should not care. Remember to set the READ and WRITE permissions on
the same set of entries or you can get security breaches. These days,
you probably will.
