Ok, thanks for clearing this up.  However, this isn't working for
me.  When I fire up Gnus, it isn't moving any mail over to my 
'nnfolder-directory'.  Here is what I added to .gnus

  (setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
  (setq nnfolder-directory "~/gMail/")
  (setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
  (setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/incoming/lists/")
  (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnfolder "")))
  (setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "")

Procmail is adding incoming mail to ~/incoming/lists/listname.
The nnfolder groups I subscribed to are named "nnfolder:lists.listname"
Gnus does create the ~/gMail/lists directory with a zero lengh file
in this directory for each list, but doesn't move any mail over and
so it thinks I have "No more unread newsgroups".

I'm using Gnus v5.4.40/XEmacs 19.15.  What am I missing here?
