	One oft-encountered form of unix uucp
	has a database of explicit permissions
	associated with each machine and uucp
	login-id to which it connects.

	There is a parameter, SENDFILES, which
	control whether or not a remote system
	can receive locally queued work when it
	has initiated the connection.

	It looks like your host system has been
	configured "SENDFILES=call", either
	explicitly or by default. The behavior
	you want is gotten by specifying
	"SENDFILES=yes".
