I am trying to archive my old 'read' emails into folders. I do the following in my 
.gnus file:

;; first set the default format in which to save emails (in an archive)
(setq  gnus-default-article-saver  'gnus-summary-save-in-mail)

;; file name to save the mail
;((gnus-article-archive-name)  (concat "personal-mails-archive." (format-time-string
;                                "%m-%Y" (current-time))))

(setq gnus-split-methods '(((equal gnus-newsgroup-name "personal") 
			    (concat "personal-mails-archive."
				    (format-time-string "%m-%Y" (current-time))))
			   ((equal gnus-newsgroup-name "rkrishnan.debian")
			    (concat "rkrishnan-debian-archives." 
				    (format-time-string "%m-%Y" (current-time))))))

But while I press `o' in the article buffer to save the article, I get an error
Wrong argument type: stringp, (concat "personal-mails-archive" (format-...))

What is the problem here? is this a right way of archiving articles?

My gnus version is 5.8.8 on GNU Emacs 21.1

thanks
