	OK...using NNTP mode connects to your news server.  Using
spool mode connects to your local installation of slrnpull.  The
newsgroup is on your NNTP server, but slrnpull is not fetching it.

	You need to edit the slrnpull.conf file and add the group in
there.  The format is:

NEWSGROUP_NAME  MAX_ARTICLES_TO_RETRIEVE  NUMBER_OF_DAYS_BEFORE_EXPIRE

	After that, run slrnpull, and Bob's your uncle.

	I'm assuming you normally run in spooling mode, and you have
slrnpull up and running and regularly being invoked.
