We are having a problem sending a subset of news to other sites.  Our sys
file has this format:

	asuvax:all::
	sitea:all:F:/usr/spool/batch/sitea
	siteb:all,!comp:F:/usr/spool/batch/siteb
	sitec:comp:F:/usr/spool/batch/sitec

sitea will receive all the news, siteb will receive all but comp, and sitec
does not recieve anything.  If I change sitec sys line to:

	sitec:all,!rec,!misc,!soc,!news,...:F:/usr/spool/batch/sitec
	(where ... is everything but comp)

sitec then receives comp.  We're running 2.11 patchlevel 14 and receive
our news compressed and batched.  Any ideas on what the problem is???
