Here is the code Netnews uses to subscribe to a list.  Jim, could you
try running this at UBVM to see if you can reproduce it there?
 
   /* */
   address ''
   arg listname listnode .
   file = 'LISTSERV REQUEST A'
   'ERASE' file
   'EXECIO 1 DISKW' file '(STRING SUB' listname 'Netnews Server'
   'EXECIO 1 DISKW' file '(STRING SET' listname 'FULLHDR NOFILES'
   'FINIS' file
   'EXEC SENDFILE' file 'LISTSERV AT' listnode
