Logging In as UUCP to Set crontab

I don't quite understand how I get a new uucp owned crontab into
/usr/spool/cron/crontabs.
Any other user can type: crontab <file>
and that file is transfered into /usr/spool/cron/crontabs with correct
ownership and cron itself is alerted to the fact that a new crontab has
been loaded.
To do this for uucp, I need to login as uucp but, of course, the login
shell is uucico so that won't work.
If I login as root and copy the crontab into /usr/spool/cron/crontabs
and set up the ownership with chown and chgrp, cron is not alerted to
the new crontab until, apparently, I reboot.
Ideas?
