After further work -

It seems that active.read (even if I create it manually as originally
described) _never_ gets touched/updated.  There are two upstream
news servers in my configuration, both of which return their lists
of active groups just fine.  HOWEVER, there are name conflicts
between the two reported such as:

Aug 16 13:48:12 eskimo fetchnews[70137]: Newsgroup name conflict:
symantec.support.devtools.windows.vcafe4java.Runtime.Native

vs. symantec.support.devtools.windows.vcafe4java.runtime.native
Aug 16 13:48:12 eskimo fetchnews[70137]: Newsgroup name conflict, chose
symantec.support.devtools.windows.vcafe4java.runtime.n
ative

Could this be causing the problem of active.read never being updated, and
if so, how do I work around it?
