Decrease pile 2 to 75%, then it should work as long as your 'diskspace'
settings in dnews.conf are
correct, if they are correct then tellnews status will show a diskuse of
about 95% when the disk is almost
full. If it doesn't show the right % full to match your real disk use
(approximately) then your dnews.conf diskspace*
settings are probably wrong.

That error is due to a bug, luckily it's harmless so can be ignored.
However upgrading to 5.5b3 will get rid of the error.
