Actually, it sounds to me like the uucleanup may be broken.  If it's
a shell script (and I think it is) it should be "fixable" :-)

It seems to me (without looking at the script) the the Permission
Denied message must be coming from trying to access a log-file or
other on-again/off-again accessed file.  The script probably appends
the current days' log files to the weekly one, and then creates a new
one.  After the new one exists, the modes are set.  If the uucico
tries to access the file between creation and mode-setting there may
be a permission conflict.

I'll look into it and post again in a couple of days, hopefully with
a fix for the script (if it is one).

  the phone line...
