Aha! Sorry, this one's *really* simple, I should have spotted it straight
away. ;)
Basically -- there's an extra space character between "ContentsURL" and
the colon after it:
> ContentsURL : http://www.guardian.co.uk/.*/story/.*\.(htm|html)
^
This is confusing sitescooper, causing it to use the default pattern for
ContentsURL -- ie. "anything on the site", which isn't what you want.
If you use
ContentsURL: http://www.guardian.co.uk/.*/story/.*\.(htm|html)
it works perfectly.
I'd better modify the sitescooper site file parser to catch this...
