You're not the first who has this question.  I wanted it, too :-)
Lars doesn't really like this, but he said since so many people want
this, he's put it on the red todo list.

Are you saying that you're actually adding files to nnml group
directories outside of Gnus?  You should never, EVER, do that.  For
doing mail splitting outside of Gnus, set nnmail-use-procmail to t and
adjust the nnmail-procmail-* variables (but the suffix can't be "").

You then have to change your mail splitting thingy so that it appends
messages to a file rather than writing new files into a directory.

Also, very fancy mail splitting can be done from within Gnus so this
is not really necessary.

hth,
