You're working too hard.  If 5.8 is already set up and running, you need
only to place the executable for 5.9 in the same directory where 5.8 has
always been, and do an INSTALL> REPLACE on it.  No need to do any of the
"first time execution" stuff.  Maybe do an INSTALL> LIST/FULL to make sure
it's installed with SYSPRV.  Repeat as necessary for the NNTP-related 
images.  

Btw, my personal number one favorite mistake when bringing up a new version
of NEWS is to forget to INSTALL the new image file.  Without SYSPRV, NEWS
can't do much.  Of course my account has SYSPRV so when I test it all works
well, but when others try it... hoo boy.
