So the error message was correct?

Hm, what would Gnus do other than to complain?  As I see it, the
directory where a nnml group lives must exist in order to write things
into it.  If it doesn't exist, Gnus tries to create it.  I suspect the
reason you haven't received the error message before is that you
didn't write to the group (i.e. deleted or inserted articles).  Would
that be right?

I don't think there's a bug here.
