I am trying to set up a machine with a uucp connection via tcp,

What TCP communications method are you using?
  - UUCP directly on TCP/IP port 540
  - UUCP over telnet
  - UUCP over SSH
  - something else?

but somehow I can't get the chat script right.

The times that I've done this, I did UUCP over SSH.  It provides encryption and the authentication happens outside of UUCP.  SSH keys are nice.  :-)

The following is actually my most successful attempt so far:
 chat ogin: \L\r word: \P\r
 This leads to the following in the Debug file (login and password replaced):

 Does anyone know what might be the issue here? What am I missing?

I don't know what's going on.
But it looks like you might be trying to log in to esgaroth from esgaroth, e.g. looping back into yourself.  I'm not sure how well UUCP tolerates that.
