Trying to use the uucp command to send a file to another
system over a modem, and I keep getting permission denied error, even
if the file is set to mode 777.  What am I doing wrong?

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).
