Looking at my current CVS code which hasn't changed in the past three
weeks in that area, texpire will keep the groups (even with empty
directories) when they are marked dormant (/etc/leafnode/dormant.groups
contains tin.dev) or interesting
(/var/spool/news/intersting.groups/tin.dev exists).

Can you confirm if that is the case?

Does the following patch clarify the situation when you run texpire -vvv
again? (works against your version and the later 1203a snapshot)
