I'm getting strange PERMISSION DENIED errors when a remote site tries to
send files to us, when the target directories do not exist. The error only
occurs sometimes (i.e. even if the dirs don't exist, they usually get
created).

Here's the output from a uucico -x5 that shows the problem:

The Permissions entry for the site is:

MACHINE=uunet.ca REQUEST=yes SENDFILES=yes MYNAME=alias \
        READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/store/ftp/uunet \
        WRITE=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/store/ftp/uunet \
        COMMANDS=rmail


I can't figure out what's wrong. Has anyone seen this before?
