Looking at the log and the remote article: A problem with the remote server.

The workaround is to run fetchnews with -x argument so that fetchnews
will back up so much that it starts fetching at article 4220. At this
time, -x 31 is sufficient, the more articles have arrived, the higher
the number you'd use.
I'd recommend to run fetchnews -evvvx31 -S discussion.autodesk.com
and watch the output, possibly bumping up the 31 as required.

Turns out that discussion.autodesk.com (running borked Jive News from
http://www.jivesoftware.com/) is borked. Excerpt from ARTICLE 4219 in
newsgroup autodesk.vault, in "wire format", prefixed by "| ":

This is bogus and violates the NNTP standard.
Bug #1: The server _MUST_ prefix all lines that start with a period with
another period, so the server should have sent

Please report this to the Autodesk support team and have them forward
this mail to jivesoftware.com.
Bug #2: They should also mention that the server does not add Path:
headers, which it also MUST do.
The relevant standards are:
RFC-977 section 2.4.1
RFC-1036 sections 2 and 2.1.6.
Nothing leafnode could do about this to work around such a broken
server.
So the solution is to have jivesoftware fix their b0rked Jive News and
then have autodesk install the updated Jive News.
Sorry - I can't help here.
