Hm.  Does M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases RET help?

Hm.  Maybe one of the servers is secondary, and the other is foreign?
Does the .newsrc.eld file contain one of the servers?

Please generate the NOV files and then copy and move around articles
to see if the NOV files are kept up to date.  Depending on how the
articles got into the server, I can understand NOV problems (you did
have the wrong file name in the parameters), but once that's cleared
up, the NOV data should be kept up to date automatically.  If it
isn't: maybe a bug?
