rnews error: occasional "Permission denied" messages

[Michael Coxe]

I see these from time to time. I'm using mail2news to pipe 
mailing-list messages to news for archival purposes. Almost all
mail2news posts make it just fine, but several per week do not.

What is the cause? Could this be a race condition? Does rnews 
need special ownership/perms (like it would for uucp delivery)
