  Every-time I invoke gnus-agent-batch it sets my
`nntp-server-list-active-group' to `try' despite the fact that I
explicitly set to to 'nil' in my ~/.gnus.el. I know this is being done
as a result of:

  `(defvoo nntp-server-list-active-group 'try)' 

  in nntp.el as over-typing this `try' with `nil' fixes the problem. I
have tried the following in my ~/.emacs, but no joy -
`nntp-server-list-active-group' *still* gets set back to `try':

(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "/usr/lib/xemacs/site-lisp/gnus/lisp") load-path))
(require 'nntp)
(message "Is nntp.el loaded: %s" (featurep 'nntp))
(autoload 'gnus-agent-batch "gnus-agent")

  the `message' clearly says `t' - nntp.el has been loaded. This is
prior to my ~/.gnus.el being read. What am I missing here?
