I think the way that you invoked uuto is where your problem is.

The man page for uuto says uuto {filename} machine!user.

It mentions nothing about machine\!user or machine/!user.

I have seen that construct fail more times than not.  It appears that there
were security problems in uucp and that those problems have been fixed.
