problems with CNFS

[Herbert J. McNew]

Hi,

	I'm running inn-2.2.1 on FreeBSD 3.3-Release.  We're having a
problem wherein inn can write to it's buffers, but when a buffer reaches
100% utilization (where I would expect it to cycle) we begin getting the
following message:

Permission denied writing SMstore file -- throttling.

I have storageapi set to true in the inn.conf. And permissions on all
buffers is 0664. Included below are the relevant portions of storage.conf,
cycbuff.conf, and the output from cnfsstat.

---storage.conf---

method cnfs {
        newsgroups: alt.binaries.*,alt.sex.*
        class: 1
        options: SEXBIN
}

method cnfs {
        newsgroups: *,!alt.binaries.*,!alt.sex.*
        class: 2
        options: LEFTOVER
}


---cycbuff.conf---

cycbuff:ZERO:/news/spool/buffers/0/ZERO:18609096
cycbuff:ONE:/news/spool/buffers/1/ONE:18609096
cycbuff:TWO:/news/spool/buffers/2/TWO:18609096
cycbuff:THREE:/news/spool/buffers/3/THREE:18609096
cycbuff:FOUR:/news/spool/buffers/4/FOUR:9354720

metacycbuff:SEXBIN:FOUR
metacycbuff:LEFTOVER:ZERO,ONE,TWO,THREE

---cnfsstat---
