Do you have files called ".overview" or something with NOV or nov in
the ~/News directory for these groups?  Delete those files.

find ~/News -iname '.over*'
find ~/News -iname '*nov*'

Does this help?

My nnml groups are fine. It's the nntp groups, and only 2 of them that
I can see, that are hosed. Is that information cached locally?

If summary information isn't cached locally then my ISP's news feed is
fubar for those groups.
