I don't know if this is your problem or not, but I had problems with the
standard news.daily invocation because:
1) /usr/ was too full for copies of the history and active files.
2) /var/ was a separate partition with plenty of space.
My symptom was that innd would remain paused, and although the expire
would claim to have finished, no files would actually be deleted.
So I changed my news.daily invocation in news's crontab to:
0 5 * * * /usr/lib/news/bin/news.daily expdir=/var/lib/news delayrm expireover < /dev/null
Maybe this will help.
TTFN,
Andy
