You haven't started slashd, have you?  :)

Every five minutes, slashd calls setStoryIndex() which copies your
stories from the stories to the newstories table.  If it's not in
the newstories table, it won't be on your homepage.  The code's in
bender/sbin/slashd and bender/Slash/DB/Static/MySQL/MySQL.pm.
Start up slashd with your init.d script, hm, maybe that should be
clearer in the INSTALL doc...
