Yep. You're correct. I meant csh.
Also, I solved the problem. It was a typo I'd made along the lines
of:
MACHINE=foo \
[various permissions] \
# ^ -- Here's the problem!
MACHINE=BAR
[various *different* permissions]
As I understand it, this caused uucp to read bar's permissions in
as well, and used those instead of the permissions I'd declared
for foo. At least I *think* that's what happened. I know it
worked when I removed the "\" after foo's permissions.
