JC> The variables I mentioned seem to have no effect, so wha am I doing wrong here?
That you believe the gnus function and variable names bear any relation to
what they do (if anything) or represent. The other thing you might be doing wrong is
believing USENET, or what's left of it, is worthy of your time.
JC> Then the active file is read and I get a K for each group on the server

By "nothing" I assume you mean an empty space, e.g.,
86398: gmane.emacs.gnus.general
K 30: gmane.emacs.gnus.patches
K 262: gmane.emacs.gnus.semi
If so, press "u" to subscribe/unsubscribe. Then "q" back to the *Group*
buffer. Yes, the linked command to "u" is
"gnus-browse-unsubscribe-current-group" which you would think does the
*opposite* of subscribing, but see my earlier comment about gnus making any
logical sense.
