i had this just last week ;-).  uucp is unable to read one of the
files that it needs.  the problem i had was that uucico was SUID
nuucp and the uucp files were owned by uucp.  your remote system
probably thinks you are an unknown machine.  i'd start by checking
the permissions on your Systems file.
