This reminds me of a situation where movemail wouldn't work because it
wasn't allowed to create a lock file in the mail spool directory, but
Gnus didn't notice the failure and assumed that the .gnus-crashbox had
been created.
I solved with by making movemail setgid mail. You'll have to decide for
yourself if movemail is secure enough for that.
