  My V.2.1 uucp has the following line of code from uucp.c:
  (line 233 -238 )

   233              /*  source files can have at most one ! */
   234              if (*fwd1 != NULLCHAR) {
   235                  /* syntax error */
   236                  (void) fprintf(stderr, "illegal  syntax %s\n", argv[opti
nd]);
   237                  exit(1);
   238              }

  This is what I am talking about, whenever I tried to do    
  uucp a!b!c!/tmp/foo foo I got this error.
