tdx-util/expire question and overchan question

I have two different issues I need some help on.  When I upgraded from INN
2.4.2 to INN 2.5 current last week I also changed from tradspool storage
to CNFS.

First Issues:
I have ovmethod: tradindexed in inn.conf.  I have been checking daily the
output to: tdx-util -A and I am confused why I get output that gives me
lines like:

tdx-util: tradindexed: count incorrect for tw.bbs.sports.baseball.bears: 6
!= 8
tdx-util: tradindexed: low water mark incorrect for
tw.bbs.sports.baseball.dragons: 0 != 184385

That suggest to me that I may not have expires setup correctly.   
Should I be getting this kind of output from tdx-util?  If not how do I
correct this?

My expire line looks like:  news.daily expireover lowmark and generates
the expire.lastlowmark in the news/log dir.

The expire.log looks like:
expire begin Fri Jan  9 03:00:34 PST 2009: (-v1 -N)
    Article lines processed   600940
    Articles retained         600457
    Entries expired              483
    Articles dropped             441
expire end Fri Jan  9 03:00:42 PST 2009
all done Fri Jan  9 03:00:42 PST 2009
expireover start Fri Jan  9 03:00:42 PST 2009
expireover end Fri Jan  9 03:01:09 PST 2009
lowmarkrenumber begin Fri Jan  9 03:01:09 PST 2009:
(/var/log/news/expire.lowmark)
lowmarkrenumber end Fri Jan  9 03:01:09 PST 2009

I have the "-N" flag added in since there is one buffer designed for local
use I need expired at certain times.  Any suggestions if tdx-util should
not be giving me these lines or what is wrong?

The Second issue I suspect might be a problem with the overview and I
might have to rebuild the overview database.   Occasionally,  I get a
notice in the errlog:
Jan  7 21:09:25 gondor overchan[12472]: input line too long, skipping

Thanks for any suggestions.

Bill
