Perhaps one uux along the route is "broken".  It has to be able to send
a file more than one hop.  Another consideration is that many flavors of
uucp won't send a file greater than a certain size; you might try splitting
it up into pieces and combining them on the receiving end.

(Maybe you can split the file up using a uux command, assuming the
permissions are set, and then request the various pieces...?)
