there is a missing " " in the rmgrp script, but there is also now
a sed script to convert the . to / in the newsgroup, this script
should have a g in it to take care of the groups like 
net.rec.sleeping etc.
in fact change rmgrp to have a tr(1) command in there, this is my
rmgrp for 2.10:-

: rmgrp newsgroup ...
cd /usr/spool/news
for i in $*
do
	echo removing $i
	rm -rf `echo $i | tr . /`
	cp /usr/lib/news/active /tmp/rmg$$
	sed "/^$i /d" < /tmp/rmg$$ > /usr/lib/news/active
done
rm -f /tmp/rmg$$
