We've just had a similar problem.  
All news was being placed into the 'junk' newsgroup (in the 'log' it
says the artice was junked).
 
The problem was no 'active' file in the lib/news directory. 
Once youve got one of those use it to make the news directory structure.

Seems to be Ok now .....

Hope this helps.
