Maybe it didn't find the groupinfo file. In that case, active.read is 
irrelevant.

fetchnews will create it when it has successfully retrieved the active files 
from all upstream servers in one single run.

Did you check the logs? You need to change /etc/syslog.conf and SIGHUP
syslogd to get news logging.

groupinfo is also updated locally, through texpire or applyfilter, and would 
therefore be inaccurate for tracking the date of the last "active" download.
