The problem is in the way that vn reads the .newsrc file (and the command
options). vn -n comp.sources will ONLY read the newsgroup comp.sources and NOT
comp.sources.{d,unix,etc...} . You will have to change your .newsrc file from
something like 
options -n comp news local general 
  to:
options -n comp.all news.all local.all general 
You will have to do the same thing when you give newsgroup pars to the 
vn program.
  READ THE MANUAL PAGE for more information... (I was as confused as hell, 
until I did so...).
