Looks OK to me - no expert though.  

One thing that caught me out - if you don't let leafnode finish
downloading however many articles you have asked for in this file (ie
with maxfetch and initialfetch) then it will not show ANY - or didn't
here.

If you are trying to downl;oad from hight-traffic groups and allowing N
to collect all messages then that first trawl will take  a long time!

Try uncommenting these two - if that doesn't work and no-one else has any
suggestions there is always the leafnode mailing list........

Good luck
