Hmm... that seems not to be the content of my directory, i have:
#all#  ./  ../  active  all  all.nov  all~

It seems that I am missing the all.mrk file, right?

In other folder I have a ".marks" file.

Even without setting this var to anything in .gnus, gnus (when
starting up) changes the value from nil to t.
