I've seen exactly the same problems when trying this setup and I might have
found a working solution for it :

Try setting up the feed as :

doc.ic.ac.uk\
	:*\
	:Tc,Wnm,S1024,Fnews.doc.ic.ac.uk\
	:/home/local/news/bin/nntplink news.doc.ic.ac.uk

I've seen the following messages with this setup :

Dec 17 15:15:25 disaster innd: testsite:20:proc:9384 blocked sleeping 240
Dec 17 15:17:20 disaster innd: testsite spooling 1055 bytes

Which looks like innd is really spooling the articles to the file
specified with 'F'...

Good question - that's exactly what I'd like to know also ...
