Probably your readers.conf doesn't permit anyone to read.

That is a new and more powerful config file than was available in INN 
2.2.x, which is why you can't find the old one.  You should look in your 
old nnrp.access file to find out what your old permissions permitted.

If your nnrp.access is extremely complicated, I have a script somewhere to 
help with the conversion.
