I can think of a couple of possibilities.

You probably want double quotes around "mail.misc.", unless you have a
variable by that name and actually want its value.

This one looks okay on its own, but...

You don't show exactly how you are setting nnmail-split-methods.  The
typical way is by setq'ing it to a quoted list of lists.  If that is
what you are doing, the quoting may be preventing the evaluation of
your rules.
