I get the following error now and then:
Error reading nntp marks file /home/larsi/News/marks/news.eternal-september.org/comp/emacs/ ((error IO error reading /home/larsi/News/marks/news.eternal-september.org/comp/emacs/: Is a directory)). Continuing will use marks from .newsrc.eld. Continue? (y or n)
I haven't requested backend marks, and I don't want them. And I can't
find any way to disable them. Would anybody mind very much if I
introduce a `gnus-user-marks' variable and default it to nil? That'd
probably speed up normal Gnus usage greatly.

I have seen the same or very similar error message too. I described the
issue and my personal work-around hack here:

I've now made the code not do anything if nntp-marks-file-name is nil.
It's a workaround, but it should make the bug go away.
