Well, I got it this this morning.  After reading a few groups that
were properly scored, I went into one a group, read a few messages,
and realized nothing was scored.

There usually are a lot of articles scored because I have turned on
adaptive scoring.  This using the first post-quassia beta (5.6.1?) on
emacs 19.34 Linux.

I dutifully said "hey, lets see if I can reproduce it", quit back to
the group buffer, re-entered the group, and found that the scoring was
done correctly.  :-(
