I am running INN1.4sec from the ports.  I have rebuilt and reinstalled several 
times and get this when news.daily is run

Expire messages:
expire begin Thu May  2 01:30:36 EDT 1996: (-v1 -z/var/log/news/expire.rm)
    Can't store key, No such file or directory
    Expire errors: history files not updated.
    Article lines processed        1
    Articles retained              0
    Entries expired                0
    Files unlinked                 1
    Old entries dropped            0
    Old entries retained           0

my crontab entry for news looks like this to run news.daily

20,50  * * * * /usr/local/news/bin/nntpsend -d -t 180
0 5 * * 1 /usr/lib/news/bin/expireover -s
30 1 * * * /usr/local/news/bin/news.daily delayrm expireover

I have read, re-read, and re-re-read the INN FAQ, but cannot figure out what I 
am doing wrong.  I have been manually deleting old news files with script I 
have to edit daily to setup the date I want for files to be removed, then have 
to run ctlinnd renumber.

If anyone can give me any insight on this, I would muchly appreciate this, as 
I cannot find a reference to the error I am receiving.
