Usenet files logjam

After installing update 2.3.2 Xenix I noticed (about two days later) that
my newsfeed was blocked in the incoming /usr/spool/uucp/newsource
directory.  The problem was caused by the update R not preserving 
permisions and not saving Permisions and Systems files.  I've fixed that
but I still have a backlog of files in the "spooled" folder.

I tried running "unbatch" and that seemed to sort out about half of them but
the rest are still there.  Does anyone know how I can "unspool" these
leftover files?

Thanks for any assistance.
