I'm still having problems with incoming "news articles" gettng "stuck"
in the feeding computer's spool directory.  I now have 7 articles from
January 13 that haven't been distributed to the appropriate directory.
These are the current problem files;

drwxrwxrwx   2 uucp     group        272 Jan 14 05:24 mgse
drwxr-xr-x   2 uucp     group        144 Jan 14 04:40 rex
$ cd mgse
$ l
total 128
-rwxrwxrwx   1 uucp     group      18412 Jan 13 17:04 D.mgsecf2333c
-rwxrwxrwx   1 uucp     group       3475 Jan 13 17:23 D.mgsecf24159
-rwxrwxrwx   1 uucp     group       9605 Jan 13 18:53 D.mgsecf35bfd
-rwxrwxrwx   1 uucp     group       5659 Jan 13 19:27 D.mgsecf39273
-rwxrwxrwx   1 uucp     group       9055 Jan 13 20:23 D.mgsecf431cf
-rwxrwxrwx   1 uucp     group       3691 Jan 13 23:33 D.mgsecf4fcf3
-rwxrwxrwx   1 uucp     group      10614 Jan 13 23:33 D.mgsecf99334

The directory path is /usr/spool/uucp/mgse.

How can I force these files to descramble/uncompress and then have the
correct news groups updated with articles contained within these files?

I have received articles after these and they have all unspooled correctly.
