uupick and uucp

Hi,
Files are being transfered using uucp command in the directory
/usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/wes/cboas7/CB/abc.txt
/usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/wes/nrserv3/NR/abc.txt

When I was using solaris 2.6, I was not getting any error while changing the file ownership or file permission. Now I have upgraded the OS from soalris 2.6 to solaris 2.9. But now I am getting the below error while changing the file permission or file owner ship.
chgrp: /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/wes/nrserv3/wesso3581: Not owner
chgrp: /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/wes/nrserv3/wesso3582: Not owner
chgrp: /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/wes/nrserv3/wesso3583: Not owner
chmod: WARNING: can't change /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/wes/nrserv3/wesso3581
chmod: WARNING: can't change /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/wes/nrserv3/wesso3582
chmod: WARNING: can't change /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/wes/nrserv3/wesso3583

Please help me how to resolve this issue.

Thanks

NAME
Directories - Contains queued requests for file transfers and command executions on remote systems SYNOPSIS
/usr/spool/uucp/SystemName DESCRIPTION
The /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName directories are the uucp program spooling directories on the local system. The uucp program creates a Sys- temName directory for each system listed in the /usr/adm/uucp/Systems file, including the local system. Each SystemName directory contains queued requests issued by local users for file transfers to remote systems and for command executions on remote systems. The uucp program uses several types of administrative files to transfer data between systems. These files are stored in the SystemName directories. They are: Contain directions for the uucico daemon concerning file transfers. Contain data to be sent to remote systems by the uucico daemon. Contain instructions for running commands on remote systems. Contain data files after their transfer to the remote system until the uucp program can deliver them to their final destinations (usually the /usr/spool/uucppublic directory). RELATED INFORMATION
