UUX permissions problem HDB --> old L.sys

As many people pointed out to me through mail, I had only given
permission to the remote for "/usr/tmp" and was attempting a uux on files
in the "/tmp" directory. Thanks to all who replied. Correcting this has
solved the uux problem in one direction, running uux on the Altos Xenix
old uucp system to a remote HDB system is working fine.
However, there's a catch (isn't there always a catch?). I need to run
uux in the other direction as well. Here my documentation is very
scanty. Thanks to the person who emailed me the man pages for L.cmds and
L.sys.
Following are the relevant entries in each of the files on the old UUCP
system, the command I ran, and the LOGFILE entry.
L.cmds
------
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
who
ls
uucp
xqt
uuxqt
ruusend
L.sys
-----
TWG Any tty02 9600 tty5 gin:-EOT-gin:-EOT-gin: ualtos
USERFILE
--------
uucp, /
, /
bill,TWG /tmp /usr/spool/uucppublic
utwg,TWG /tmp /usr/spool/uucppublic
root,Altos /usr/lib/uucp /usr/spool/uucppublic /tmp /usr/spool/uucp
uux command on Altos@@
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
uux "!ls !/tmp > !/tmp/uux-file"
LOGFILE@@
HHHHHHH
root Altos (10/21-13:13) root XQT DENIED (ls /tmp )
I can't even get root on the Altos system allowed to run uux locally, let
alone remotely! I have a feeling something is missing from the L.cmds
file. Some people suggested that I have a L-cmds and uuxqtcmds files, so
I linked the L.cmds file to them so I have all three.
Is it obvious and I'm too thick to see it? This should be a piece of
cake for anyone out there running pre HDB uucp in a flavour used by Altos
Xenix 3.4 who is doing uux, or allowing it to be done.
