Paul,
 The problem is you have set up your inn newsfeeds file to put the full
path into the "name.of.news.site" file instead of the relative path.  You
need to use an entry of the form:

name.of.news.site\
	:!junk/!local,!control\
	:Tf,Wnm:name.of.news.site

Use "n" instead of "f" in the W parameters.

Alternatively, you can continue to modify the scripts provided with suck
each time (nothing wrong with that either).
