Thanks for the info Harry.

I used a link. If I had your directory structure I would have made a
link from within the ~/News/agent/nntp/sunsite.auc.dk/emacs/ directory 
to ../nntp+sunsite/auc/dk:emacs/ding.

This seems to work but it isn't really the way it should work. It
seems that Agent creates one directory structure but tries to read
another.

Another problem I've found is that J s tries to download all articles
in all groups whether they're covered by agent or not.
