Rheal,

I don't know why your file isn't working as you describe, but I
have a more efficient method, I think, to accomplish the same
thing.

Mark the articles you want to read as M (mark as read until you
exit the group), then use c to catchup - the remaining articles will not
be marked read one-by-one but will be done in bulk.  The articles
that you marked will then be Yanked back as unread.

I've never tried this method from a kill file, but I use it all
the time from command line mode.
