If you remove the blank lines from your newslink.cfg, does the error go away? It's really more of a warning than an error and could be safely ignored, but I am curious what about your newslink.cfg file it doesn't like.

I have it too. I looked through it and saw nothing unusual.

FYI: I see that Grease reported similar 'errors', so, I setup a test USENET session for AREA USENET_RASPBERR comp.sys.raspberry-pi, and, did a forced NEWSLINK timed event, which, successfully imported 1406 messages without error.
