There's your problem, and you know how to fix it.

 Although if Kai can get uuencoding working right, I could just use the
 "su" method and not use scp at all.

I have been using the sm method with much success.  So, if you have
mimencode installed on your remote machines...  Have you?

 [...] but my directory is not in the standard search path, and the
 way that rcp.el starts "ksh" (which it needs in order to grok ~
 characters) my .profile doesn't get sourced, so I can't change my
 PATH to include the mimencode program.  Any ideas?

Ah, _this_ is the PATH problem that you mentioned!  (Gnus does
threading, so I saw the other message first.)

Well, there is the variable rcp-remote-path; does it work to add
directories to that variable.

I wish rcp-remote-path would grok ~, but I think it doesn't.

Only those directories which actually exist are added to the search
path, so don't be afraid to add lots of strange directories.
