I have the same problem, but I know what the problem is, and am not sure
what to do about it.  The files are owned by nuucp, instead of uucp.  If
I chown uucp /usr/spool/uucp/* it works.  Should nuucp be executing
uudemon.hour instead of uucp?  Is this a common setup?  Should each uucp
login have the same UID as the uucp admin. login?
