can't get /usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.hr to run correctly from cron (long)

[John R. Galloway Jr.]

	In the continuing war of me against netland, (I love A/UX 2.0, but
would love to do something cruel & disgusting to uucp/sendmail/etc) I am
currently in a battle with cron (maybe).  I can receive and send mail just fine
(the from address is still my uucp address instead of my internet address, but
I've given up on that battle for the moment).  It gets sent out to my sponsoring
site (fernwood) via uuxp and all is well, as long as I (as root) execute uucico
(or /usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.hr) by hand from a command shell.  If I set cron
up to do so automatically, files are pulled in, but something goes wrong when
the X.* files are processed as shown below.  I have tried making
/usr/lib/uucp/uuxqt a shell script which saves the files and then executes
the real uuxqt, but that does not work (and perhaps would not help anyway).
Adding a -x9 to the uucico line in uudemon.hr shows no problems (which makes
sense since the uucp part seems to work, and rmail doesn't have any debug/diag
switches, that I know of)  I also have alteered uudemon.hr so the shell vars/env
is identical to that i get when logged in as root, still no help.  Does anyone
know what this is?

Mail failed (PATH=/bin:/usr/bin LOGNAME=uucp TZ=`/bin/cat rmail jrg at galloway.sj.

The particular mail that cuased this problem was sent form apple.com to
jrg at galloway.sj.ca.us and is processed fine if /usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.hr is
executed on the command line in a command shell instead of from cron.
