  13. I'm getting strange PERMISSION DENIED errors when a remote site tries to
  14. send files to us, when the target directories do not exist. The error only
  15. occurs sometimes (i.e. even if the dirs don't exist, they usually get
  16. created).
  17.  
  18. Here's the output from a uucico -x5 that shows the problem:
