Which noatime patch are you using in 2.0.2x? I'm using coneill@premier.net's patch and don't see what you're seeing. i.e.
obi-wan:/var/spool/news/over.view/fdt/news$ ls -la --time=atime total 8 drwxrwxr-x 2 news news 1024 May 13 1996 ./ drwxrwxr-x 7 news news 1024 May 13 1996 ../ -rw-rw-r-- 1 news news 6055 Sep 5 08:39 .overview obi-wan:/var/spool/news/over.view/fdt/news$ cat .overview >/dev/null obi-wan:/var/spool/news/over.view/fdt/news$ ls -la --time=atime total 8 drwxrwxr-x 2 news news 1024 May 13 1996 ./ drwxrwxr-x 7 news news 1024 May 13 1996 ../ -rw-rw-r-- 1 news news 6055 Sep 5 08:39 .overview
I do have fstab mounting the partitions with just defaults, and then remount them noatime in rc.local as
/sbin/mount -o remount,no_atime /var/spool/news/over.view
