This might have nothing to do with your problem, but I
thought I'd mention it in case it was.

I had a similar problem which was caused by alt.2600.414.

The problem was that I had an article 414 in alt.2600 so
when it tried to create the directory for alt.2600.414 it failed.
So then, every time it tried to create an article in the 414
directroy it would fail, which caused to the server throttled
problem.
