nntp not working after upgrade

[Ulrich Eckhardt]

Hi,

I have upgraded my server to from debian 6 (with cyrus 2.2) to debian 7 
(with cyrus 2.4.16). After this upgrade it is not possible anymore to 
feed news into my imap-spool.

In the logs i get the following output from fetchnews:
Jan  5 12:21:55 h1690828 cyrus/fetchnews[6474]: fetchnews: nntp.aioe.org 
offered 4; localhost rejected 0, accepted 0, failed 4

The nntpd logs the following:
---------- 127.0.0.1 Sun Jan  5 13:28:06 2014

So it seems there is something wrong with my mailboxes. So I have 
removed the mailboxes for news and recreated them as described in
http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/mediawiki/index.php/NNTP

According cyradm the mailboxes exist and seems to have the correct 
permissions:

h1690828:/var/lib/cyrus/log/127.0.0.1#  cyradm localhost
Password:
localhost.localdomain> lm
INBOX (\HasNoChildren)
Trash (\HasNoChildren)
news.de.alt.netdigest (\HasNoChildren)
news.de.alt.sysadmin.recovery (\HasNoChildren)
user.uli (\HasChildren)
..
localhost.localdomain> lam news.de.alt.netdigest
anyone lrsp
localhost.localdomain> lam news.de.alt.sysadmin.recovery
anyone lrsp

In the imapd.conf file I have the following entries regarding news:
# News setup
partition-news: /var/spool/cyrus/news
allownewnews: 0
newsprefix: news

# Alternate namespace
# If enabled, activate the alternate namespace as documented in
# /usr/share/doc/cyrus-doc-2.4/html/altnamespace.html, where an user's
# subfolders are in the same level as the INBOX
# See also userprefix and sharedprefix on imapd.conf(5)
altnamespace: no

# UNIX Hierarchy Convention
# Set to yes, and cyrus will accept dots in names, and use the forward
# slash "/" to delimit levels of the hierarchy. This is done by
unixhierarchysep: no

So I have no idea where to search next for this problem. Is there a 
possibility to log which mailbox the nntpd expects?

Best Regards
Uli
