The problem is that news batches coming in via uucp get saved fine by uucp, but rnews isn't able to process them and uuxqt either throws them away or puts them to a .Failed directory. This seems to happen often with newer versions of Taylor uucp. Taylor uucp saves batches as owner uucp mode 600. So when rnews (as it is installed by make is news.uucp and mode r-sr-sr-x then it gets user news which is not able to read the batches and exits right away.
