You need to provide a fall-through, because spam-split will return
'nil' if the mail is not spam.  That's the first step.

Turn up gnus-verbose to 10 and see if the messages are sensible.  Test
a few messages manually with Bogofilter, through the
spam-bogofilter-score function, and see if they get scored properly.
Check the other items in the spam-bogofilter configuration group,
especially that the "bogofilter" executable is correctly found.
