UUX permissions problem HDB --> old L.sys

I am at the end of my rope over this one! I have a uucp link over a
direct wire between two systems, one running HDB uucp (SCO XENIX 2.3.2)
and the other an Altos 2086 running some flavor of Altos Xenix with the
old style uucp.
I am able to uucp files from the Altos to the HDB system fine. It is UUX
that is giving me the grief. The command I run on the Altos is:
uux "TWG!ls TWG!/tmp > TWG!/tmp/test-list"
This is supposed to run "ls" on TWG on TWG's /tmp directory and put the
output in TWG's /tmp directory in a file called test-list". The entries
in TWG's .Log/uuxqt/Altos file are:
uucp Altos (10/16-17:16:50,12034,0) root XQT- STDIN/STDOUT/FILE ACCESS DENIED (ls /tmp )
uucp Altos (10/16-17:16:51,12034,0) root XQT- STDIN/STDOUT/FILE ACCESS DENIED (ls /tmp )
uucp Altos (10/16-17:49:40,12698,0) root XQT- STDIN/STDOUT/FILE ACCESS DENIED (ls /tmp )
uucp Altos (10/16-17:59:21,12914,0) root XQT- STDIN/STDOUT/FILE ACCESS DENIED (ls /tmp )
uucp Altos (10/16-18:00:40,12962,0) root XQT- STDIN/STDOUT/FILE ACCESS DENIED (/bin/ls /tmp )
I do not have manuals for the old version of uucp running on the Altos,
so I'm poking in the dark. I believe I have setup the HDB permissions
correctly to allow the Altos system to do this. Here is the Permissions
entry:
MACHINE=Altos \
COMMANDS=rmail:rnews:uucp:/bin/ls:/bin/who \
READ=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/tmp:/usr/spool/uucp/ualtos \
WRITE=/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/tmp:/usr/spool/uucp/ualtos \
SENDFILES=yes REQUEST=yes
I have given permission to execute the "ls" command and access to the
"/tmp" directory. What am I missing here.
The next problem will be setting up permissions for TWG on the Altos.
The "USERFILE" is supposed to contain a list of the directories that
access is allowed to, but nowhere do I see where the commands execute
permission is registered. Someone here told me there should be a
"L.cmds" file that lists the execute permissions. I have no idea what
the format of this file is supposed to be.
Anyone else familiar with L.cmds?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
