That's what I thought at first so I tried the postnews supplied (but unsupported I realize :-) ) with C-news but this happens as well. As far as I can tell postnews does not produce a path header and just passes the stuff to inews. This means that I probably managed to mangle something in C-news itself. I'll have to trace it sometime soon whan I have the time.
