cnfs for control* messages...

Running 2.3.0 RELEASE, trying to put the control messages
ONLY on a cnfs spool, and the rest in tradspool. 

Have the following storage.conf:

# This file is used to determine which storage method articles are sent to
# to be stored and which storage class they are stored as.  

#
#	Sample for the ``timehash'' storage method:
#
#	method <methodname> {
#		newsgroups: <wildmat>
#		class: <storage class #>
#		size: <minsize>[,<maxsize>]
#		expires: <mintime>[,<maxtime>]
#		options: <options>
#	}
#
#method timehash {
#	newsgroups: *
#	class: 0
#}
method cnfs {
	newsgroups: control,control*
	class: 2
	size: 0,10000000
	options: CONTROL
}

method tradspool {
	newsgroups: *,!control,!control*
	class: 1
}
#method timehash {
#	newsgroups: alt.binaries.*
#	class: 1
#	size: 2,32000
#}
#method timehash {
#	newsgroups: alt.*
#	class: 2
#	size: 1
#}

#
#	Sample for the ``cnfs'' storage method:
#
#	methodname:wildmat:storage class #:minsize:maxsize:metacycbuffname
#	method cnfs {
#		newsgroups: <wildmat>
#		class: <storage class #>
#		size: <minsize>[,<maxsize>]
#		expires: <mintime>[,<maxtime>]
#		options: <metacycbuffname>
#	}
#
#method cnfs {
#	newsgroups: *
#	class: 1
#	size: 0,3999
#	expires: 4d1s
#	options: FAQS
#}
#method cnfs {
#	newsgroups: *
#	class: 2
#	size: 0,3999
#	expires: 0s,4d
#	options: SMALLAREA
#}
#method cnfs {
#	newsgroups: *
#	class: 3
#	size: 4000,1000000
#	options: BIGAREA
#}
and the following cycbuff.conf:

#
# Meta cnfs cyclic buffer configuration file (and assignments of newsgroups to
# metacyclic buffers)
#
# The order in this items appear in this file is *important*.

# 1. Cyclic buffers
# Format:
# "cycbuff" (literally) : symbolic buffer name : path to buffer file : 
#       length of symbolic buffer in kilobytes in decimal (1KB = 1024 bytes)

#cycbuff:ONE:/export/cycbuffs/one:512000
#cycbuff:TWO:/export/cycbuffs/two:512000
#cycbuff:THREE:/export/cycbuffs/three:512000
cycbuff:cyc1:/usr/local/news/spool/cnfs/cyc1:3000

# 2. Meta-cyclic buffers
# Format:
# "metacycbuff" (literally) : symbolic meta-cyclic buffer name :
#       comma separated list of cyclic buffer symbolic names
#
# symbolic meta-cyclic buffer name is defined at storage.conf like;
# cnfs:*:1:0:3999:SMALLAREA
# cnfs:*:2:4000:1000000:BIGAREA

#metacycbuff:BIGAREA:ONE,TWO
#metacycbuff:SMALLAREA:THREE
metacycbuff:CONTROL:cyc1

BUT, all the control.cancel messages still wind up in tradspool. 

How do I fix this.  I'm new to cnfs....
