     Yes, I used to have the same trouble.  The problem is that LCK
files over an hour old are disregarded (that's in case something crashed
without deleting its lock files).  After I got uucp running reliably
enough that I trusted the lock files, I put the following line in my
/usr/lib/crontab.
0 * * * * touch -c /usr/spool/uucp/LCK*

     That solved the problem.  Now if any spurious lock files are left
lying around, I will have to delete them by hand.  But that hasn't
happened on my Unix PC at all, unlike several BSD systems I've dealt
with.
