(this system is upgraded from an openSUSE 11.1 and uses sysvinit, just in case)

uucico can't create the uucp lock dir on /var/lock due to wrong permissions.

Message in log file: ERROR: mkdir (/var/lock/uucp): Permission denied

/var/lock is a bind to /var/run with 0755 permission and root/lock for user and
group.

ls -ln /usr/lib/uucp/uucico 
-r-sr-sr-x 1 10 14 279624 Oct 29  2011 /usr/lib/uucp/uucico

passwd
uucp:x:10:14:Unix-to-Unix CoPy system:/etc/uucp:/bin/bash

group
uucp:x:14:

ps -eo egroup,pid,user,args
uucp     22918 uucp     uucico -S XXX

Unfortunately adding uucp to lock in group did not help either
group
lock:x:54:uucp
even with effective group of uucp as seen in the ps output.

Changing permissions to 1777 for /var/run manually and in /etc/rc.d/boot fixed
it for me.
