Let's assume you have no need for your prior accounting information...

Execute the UUCP command(s) which fail.

Post that output and let's see if there's anything revealing in there.

Also, you can $ SET ACCOUNTING/DISABLE=IMAGE because /ENABLE=IMAGE can
become a resource hog.



Doing so now.



I disabled TERM/INQ on login in SYLOGIN and the abort went away 
(ACCOUNTING didn't have anything useful to say).   I know I can disable it 
per-line/per-use but this was the quickest test.

Now we're getting somewhere.   

Try putting:

$ IF "''F$mode()'".EQS."NETWORK" THEN $ EXIT

at the beginning of your SYLOGIN.COM and LOGIN.COM files.

You can not SET TERM/INQUIRE if there's no terminal. ;)
