It is unclear to me where you look for the list of newsgroups. You press
RET on the server in *Server* buffer, right?

There is:

,----[ C-h v nntp-record-commands RET ]
| nntp-record-commands is a variable defined in `nntp.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| *If non-nil, nntp will record all commands in the "*nntp-log*" buffer.
|
`----

ngrep(8) is also good for this kind of debugging (if you're using an
unencrypted connection to the nntp server).
