My guess is that these two lines say that you have a problem with
the second field of the ME entry in /etc/news/newsfeeds

> ME\
>        :!*,!junk*,!control\
>        ::

I just tried your settings on my computer and found
them to work (well, your ME entry anyway). You might want
to check that there are no spaces on the lines after the
backslashes, since the backslashes are used to escape the
linefeed. The other way to make sure this is correct is to
do it like I have on one line. In particular, you'll get the
error messages you mentioned if there is a space (or tab) after
ME\

Hope this helps.
