Can you go inside the group and check what spam-move-ham-routine is
doing?  Specifically, what is the value of 

(gnus-parameter-ham-process-destination gnus-newsgroup-name)

and whether spam-move-ham-routine is getting invoked at all?

Well, spam-list-of-processors doesn't contain
gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-report-gmane so perhaps that's why it
doesn't work.  Can you try adding

(gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-report-gmane spam spam-use-gmane)

to that list and see if that fixes your problem?

That message has several issues; I definitely will fix the manual by
taking Chong's version and adding the changes for the new-style
backend variables.  Was there anything else I missed?

Thanks
Ted

p.s. you're so well-organized, it makes me jealous.  Is there an Emacs
rs-brain-organize-mode? :)
