Leafnode filtering issue

I have recently set up leafnode on my FC4 system, I yum'ed the FC4 rpm,
version leafnode-1.11.3-2.fc4

Leafnode is started from xinetd.conf as user news.
the config for leafnode contains:

expire = 14
initialfetch = 1000
maxfetch = 2000
delaybody = 0
maxcrosspost = 4
timeout_lock = 300
filterfile = /etc/leafnode/filters
article_despite_filter = 1
server = news.xs4all.nl
port = 119


I have the following contents in /etc/leafnode/filters
(root rw-:news r--):

^Newsgroups:.*[, ]alt.usenet.kooks$
^Newsgroups:.*[, ]alt.usenet.kooks,
^Newsgroups:.*[, ]rec.arts.marching.drumcorps$
^Newsgroups:.*[, ]rec.arts.marching.drumcorps,
^NNTP-Posting-Host:.*193.194.84.198
^X-Trace:.*pomoranche.gu.net

Running applyfilter on c.o.l.m. yields:
#applyfilter -v comp.os.linux.misc
try_lock(timeout=300), fqdn="eniac.xs4all.nl"
wrote active file with 55465 lines
0 articles deleted, 1219 kept.
Updating .overview file

And there still are messages in the group matching the filter rules.
man applyfilter hasn't shed any new light on this for me.

I don't understand why the filters aren't applied properly. Any ideas what's wrong in my setup ? And do I understand correctly the filters should be applied automatically when fetchnews runs ?

TIA
Sh.
