Did you try running it via jsexec as I've shown?
This is what I got:
sub: USENET_ALLSYSOP, newsgroup: alt.bbs.allsysop
USENET_ALLSYSOP.ini export ptr: 0
USENET_ALLSYSOP.ini import ptr: -9223372036854775808
alt.bbs.allsysop import ptr: -9223372036854775808, first_msg: 756, last_msg: 758
So I guess it working?
Yes. At least jsexec is recognizing that sub-code. So I'm guessing you haven't recycled your terminal server (where the event thread runs) since adding that sub in SCFG, so it hasn't reloaded the msgs.ini file to "know" about. Normally, servers automatically reload when saving changes in SCFG, so you should look into that, if that's the problem.
The other possibility is that you have multiple ctrl directories with different msgs.ini files in one. The msgs.ini file that jsexec loaded obviously has the USENET_ALLSYSOP sub-board in it, while the one loaded by sbbs (if different) does not.
And then there's that import ptr. That's not normal. Take a look at the data/subs/usenet_allsysop.ini file (should be lowercase). Is there an import_ptr defined in there? I'm not sure what would cause that crazy value - I'd normally expect it to start at (default to) 0.
