I tried this but couldn't reproduce such a problem.
(The archive method I usually use is `(nnml "")'.)

I got:
Sending...
Sending news via NewsServer using nntp...

20100916T094357.844> Opening nnml server on archive...done
^^^^^^^
Wrote /home/yamaoka/News/archive/sent-news/12
Sending...done
Note that the server name appearing here should be the cadr of
gnus-message-archive-method, i.e. "archive".

This looks like the file
/home/horn/.gnus.d/News/archive/sent-postings/.overview is missing.
This may help:
M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases-directory RET
~/.gnus.d/News/archive/sent-postings RET

IIUC the archive server should be only one. How about trying
removal of useless servers? To do that for example:
(let (archive)
(while (setq archive (assoc "archive" gnus-server-alist))
(setq gnus-server-alist (delq archive gnus-server-alist)))
(push (cons "archive" gnus-message-archive-method)
gnus-server-alist))
This should be done while Gnus is running.
