It seems that you're having a problem with the added security of A/UX's
UUCP.  You might start by taking a look at your Permissions file and see
if you have added an LOGNAME entry for the remote system, and that the
READ, WRITE, COMMANDS, SENDFILES and REQUEST fields are all correct for
that remote host.

An excellent reference for managing UUCP is found in "Managing uucp and
Usenet" (O'Reilly, T, and Todino, G.; 1990 O'Reilly and Associates).
