The writable-only uucp logfiles (LOG.?????.?) are created when one of
the UUCP processes tries to make a log entry into LOGFILE and finds it
locked.  The new logfile is then used for the duration of the process
that created it, and is made r/w on exit.  The r/w logfiles are
integrated into LOGFILE by uulog.

It looks like you have UUCP processes that get terminated with extreme
predjudice before the files are made readable.
