Did you define a storage method? man storage.conf The reason I ask... the same thing happened to me. Defining a storage method for the articles fixed problem. FWIW: Storage method cnfs (Cyclic News File System) is actually pretty cool. Especially if you use "raw" partition devices. Also, check the output of the files located in /var/log/news. Helped me get past the startup problems.
