This is a "problem" with the NFS protocol.  The concept of the inode is not
supported across NFS.

It's been quite a while since I installed C-News, but I thought it used a
file called /usr/lib/news/server to determine when it needs to run rsh (which
is called rcmd on SCO systems) for various things.  I believe if you create
this file and put the name of the machine that actually holds the news spool
in it this configuration can work.  You may have to tweak the various scripts
so that they run rcmd instead of rsh.   Check out spacefor.xenix or
spacefor.sysv.
