[comp.mail.uucp] smail2.5 trouble

  Could some kind soul please point me in the correct
direction to look to cure this trouble. 
 I am running smail2.5 and am having the following trouble.
When I send mail to a connecting site using the ! method, I 
get the following in the D.xxxxxx file in /usr/spool/uucp/site:

U root sactoh0
# return status on failure
Z
# return address for status or input return
R root
F D.sacto8908d5f
I D.sacto8908d5f
C rmail ejnihill 

The rmail command on the C line is correct.
However, when I use the @ method, I get the following results:

U root sactoh0
# return status on failure
Z
# return address for status or input return
R root
F D.sacto8909d0f
I D.sacto8909d0f
C rmail  

As you can see, the rmail is not getting the variable "usr" to 
pass on to the receiving site.

The same results apply to multi-hops. 
ie: ! path:

U root sactoh0
# return status on failure
Z
# return address for status or input return
R root
F D.sacto89074c7
I D.sacto89074c7
C rmail athena!ejnihill 

@ path:

U root sactoh0
# return status on failure
Z
# return address for status or input return
R root
F D.sacto8904c46
I D.sacto8904c46
C rmail athena!

	eric,

	you have made a mistake in formatting the line in paths.  try:
	csusac	csusac!%s	95

	(you left the 's' off of '%s').
