After setting DOEXPIREOVER=true and EXPDIR=/var/spool/news in the
etc/news.daily file I'm now getting errors:

	Expire had problems removing articles on alba

and

	mv: /usr/local/news/lib/history: set owner/group: Operation not permitted
	mv: /usr/local/news/lib/history.dir: set owner/group: Operation not
	permitted
	mv: /usr/local/news/lib/history.pag: set owner/group: Operation not
	permitted

	Renumbering active file.
	Must be running

	Already paused
	Wrong reason
	Error log:

The FAQ doesn't mention these errors.  Anyone know where I can turn up the
verbosity of news.daily or fix the error w/ 'mv'?
