Suppose you invoke uucico with the flags
	uucico -r1 -gZ
When the C. directory has the contents
	C.farsysn0000

Uucico sees that there is a job for farsys and calls them up, even though
the grade [n] isn't high enough (higher than Z) to be transmitted.
As a result, a connection is established, nothing transpires, and the
connection is closed.

I see this as a bug in that the call shouldn't be made if no files are
to be transferred.  Is there an easy fix for this?  Does anyone else
use grades?
