Further info: If I am reading correctly 'fetchnews -f' is supposed to
force a complete rebuild. It does nothing but give the same report that
'group.x not found in groupinfo file'.

BTW, the groups are not found in the groupinfo file because there's
*nothing* there. The file size is zero. Also the server files in
/var/spool/news/leaf.node are size zero.
