The only tables the php web page uses are 'usenet_setting' and 'usenet_settinggroup'. It doesn't actually have anything else to with the collecting of news. It is purely for setting the options.
Try downloading the latest hack and running the usenet.php from that. If that fails, drop your usenet_setting and usenet_settinggroup tables, run the SQL that creates and populates them (only those two). You'll have to re-enter your options obviously.
I've just ran the sql script on a fresh vB and loaded up the options with no problem.
In the meantime I'll try to reproduce the problem at my end.
