After much experimentation, I finally got movemail to work.  I changed
nnfolder-directory to "~/gMail/lists/" and Gnus now moves mail from
"~/incoming/lists/" to corresponding groups in "~/gMail/".  My problem
seems to be solved, but still these workings seem counter-intuitive 
to me.  By what the manual has to say about 'nnfolder-directory' I
would think Gnus should build the nnfolder groups in "~/gMail/lists/" 
instead given my definitions.
