The variables do in fact hold the information I want.  So theres a big
jump up... Now since I'm a no-lisp reading moron.. I'm not sure what
your code is supposed to do.  Or what I should do with it.

I assumed it was intended to be evaluated...
So with the variables giving this information:

   gnus-newsgroup-name's value is 
   "nnml:ding3"  <== the ding@gnus.org list
-o-
  gnus-newsgroup-processable's value is 
  (17 53 22 16 8 7)

  Local in buffer *Summary nnml:ding3*; global value is 
  nil

Evaling your code gives me:

M-: (mapcar (lambda (g)
          (expand-file-name g (gnus-group-real-name gnus-newsgroup-name
                                                    "~/Mail/")))
        gnus-newsgroup-processable) <RET>

nil
