Aha, it did help identify the problem. There was a leftover entry in PI_CONFIG
that didn't actually have a corresponding directory on disk any more (due to
me messing around). The problem only manifested itself in the nntpd daemon.
Cleaning up the bogus entry in PI_CONFIG makes everything work just fine, but
you may want to catch this condition early, as it may happen with mirroring
when grokmirror purges repositories without cleanly removing config entries
(I'm working on handling these situations via another grokmirror hook).
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
