Ahh!  Check it out:

drwxrwxr-x   2 news     news         4096 Jul 22 07:00 .
drwxrwxr-x   7 news     news         4096 Jul 23 11:31 ..
-rw-rw----   1 root     root          535 Jul 22 07:00 =
control.cancel.DAT
-rw-rw----   1 root     root           36 Jul 22 07:00 =
control.cancel.IDX

7am is when I run my cron script to expire the articles:

# NEWS
0 7 * * * news /usr/bin/news.daily expireover lowmark

Do I need to do something more explicit to let it know it should be =
running as the news user?

Hmmm...ok.  I'll see what happens without it.
