There are two problems.  The first is in the setup instructions:
where they say to do
	(setq nntp-index-fast nil)
you should instead do
	(setq news-index-fast nil)

The second problem is the function gnews-spool-exec-motion, for which
a replacement appears below.

(defun gnews-spool-exec-motion (pfx)
  "Fake an NNTP next/last command."
  (let ((art-no (cadr (memq article-current
			    (if pfx
				gnews-spool-group-list
			      gnews-spool-group-tsil)))))
    (if art-no
	(gnews-spool-exec-art art-no 'stat)
      (gnews-spool-info "421 No" (if pfx "next" "previous")
			"article to retrieve")
      nil)))
