I believe you'll find that sends from a directory accessable to both uucp
and the file's owner will work.  Perhaps /usr/spool/uucppublic ?  The mode of 
the directory was likely NOT set to 777 in your testing (and at least an execute
permission to uucp for all above it in the tree-path as specified).
