Xenix/uucp/cron problem

I am running Xenix 2.0.4 on my machine and I am having a problem
convincing cron to start uucico for me.  Until last week I have never
touched Xenix before (and cron was already set up on the previous
machine I was running), so the answer might be obvious.

I have set up a cron entry for uucp to start uucico at particular times.
When those particular times arrive, cron sends mail to uucp stating:

     sh:  L-devices: cannot execute

or something similar.  The cron entry looks like:

     30 12 * * * * /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -s<site>

or something similar.

What am I doing wrong?

Please respond to me directly as I don't usually read this ng.  Thanks.
