So as I feared, it wasn't as straight forward as simply editing the 
newsrcs.  I had been surprised when you indicated it was, as I knew there 
were other files tracking the various things.

However, you could have probably left the individual files in the groups 
dir for what you wanted to keep, and only removed the ones for what you 
didn't.  Then pan would have remembered what you wanted it to in that 
area, while forgetting what you wanted it to as well.
