Manually remove them, probably best to edit the access.conf file and
remove any duplicate lines.

There's no way to get them back on with the original numbering as it may
not match your other system anyway.
To get them back on (with new numbering)
First check your expire.conf entries, then on the main server
set in dnews.conf
too_old 900
Then configure it to suck the items from the server with the local items.
