Do you mean leafnode isn't retrieving new articles in be.providers or
that it didn't notice the unsubscribe? AFAIK, the default time before a
newsgroup is dropped is something like 30 days after the last article is
retrieved by an end-user.

If you call fetchnews manually using something like:

fetchnews -vvv -x 100

what do you see?
