[I'm running six-month-old Cnews, so disclaimers are necessary here if this has already been fixed.] /usr/lib/newsbin/ctl/newgroup presumes that your subscription list is on the (virtual) line with the first field of exactly "me" or "ME", and nothing else. I couldn't figure out why newgroup messages weren't happening when I made the change you describe, and tracked it down to this. So, leave it "ME", or fix ctl/newgroup.
