I think what I meant was that, er, setting the slot values of the
archive server isn't very useful since that won't really do anything.

gnus-message-archive-method's value is 
(nnfolder "archive"
	  (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive")
	  (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
	  (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
	  (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))

Setting `nnfolder-directory' won't do much to alter the archive
server -- you have to edit the server in the server buffer.

But you can set `gnus-message-archive-method' to something completely
different, though.
