Hi everybody,
        thanks to all the people who answered to my question. Almost all of
them pointed towards one of the following items:

1. Use UFS instead of AdvFS. AdvFS is not that good as a filesystem that
   consists of lots of small files that are constantly being deleted and
   created.
2. Check permissions. All the spool tree must be owned by the news
   account.

I applied both of them and now it works.
