It sounds like uucico can't find your config file. When this happens
it possibly 'forgets' to turn on clocal when it starts to dial. This
leads to an I/O error, because it writes to a port without carrier.
Checkout if it expects your config files where they are (/etc/uucp).
You might also want to checkout the config file that was used to build
the uucp package in the bin-dist. It's in:
ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/gnu/libexec/uucp/common_sources.
