I am trying to set up a downstream UUCP site (called dirtroad).

The relevant line in my newsfeeds file is:

dirtroad:pdx.*,or.*,pnw.*,sandbox.*/!alt.*:Tf,Wbnm:dirtroad

Problem:  When dirtroad runs its compress (from Gigo), it reports back 
that the file is corrupted.

When he runs compress manually, the file unpacks and looks fine EXCEPT it 
states it is zero length.  ... rnews 0 at the end of the line after 
!/sh/unbatch (or whatever it is).

I am using the b in Wbmn which should put the file length into the 
header.

So, what am I doing wrong?

Once I get this figured out, then I need to find out why my host system 
is not processing dirtroad's outbound packets ;-(

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
