Well, I'm not surprised you're having trouble!  What exactly is this
intended to be doing?  I assure you that it won't do what you think,
whatever that is.  This says to batch up a bunch of articles and then
shove that batch into inews as if it were an incoming news article.
It's not at all surprising that inews disapproves.

You will need to explain what you're attempting before any further help
can be supplied, unless intimate knowledge of NNTP (which I lack) tips
someone else off to the problem.
