Don't tell Gnus to read from a file written to with Fcc.  Also, note
that Rmail normally deals with babyl format, but Fcc writes mbox
format.  Thus, some files start off in babyl format but may contain
some messages at the end which are in mbox format.  The rmail-input
functions knows how to deal with that, but other programs might not
(such as b2m).

I suggest that you use the Gcc header rather than the Fcc header.
Using the Gcc header you can supply a group name and Gnus will write
the message into that group.

You can set gnus-outgoing-message-group or gnus-message-archive-method
and gnus-message-archive-group to tell Gnus to automatically insert a
Gcc header, but you can also do this with message-default-headers.

I don't know why both gnus-outgoing-message-group and
gnus-message-archive-group exist -- they seem to provide the same
functionality and neither will go away, even though Lars says he
prefers gnus-message-archive-group.
