I had this problem while trying to set up a new uucp connection yesterday.
What I found out was that the permissions and owner of the /usr/spool/uucp
directory and some of its subdirectories were not owned by uucp and/or were
not set to the correct permissions. Also (if you are using HDB UUCP) check
to make sure that the /usr/spool/locks directory is writeable by uucp.
Hope this helps!
