Hm... this makes Gnus come up with the following, after first reading
the active file from the primary news server, and then prompting for
my pop password:

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument stringp nnmail-pop3-movemail)
  expand-file-name(nnmail-pop3-movemail "/opt/pub/libexec/emacs/19.34/sparc-sun-solaris2.4/")
  nnmail-move-inbox("po:sb")
  nnmail-get-new-mail(nnml nnml-save-nov "~/Mail/" nil)
  nnml-request-scan(nil "")
  gnus-request-scan(nil (nnml ""))
  gnus-read-active-file()
  gnus-setup-news(nil nil nil)
  byte-code("„
  gnus(nil)
  call-interactively(gnus)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command)

Checking the value of nnmail-pop3-movemail.  Not a function, not a
variable.  Is a
	(require 'pop3) 
necessary somewhere?

Hm... maybe if I try 
	(setq nnmail-movemail-program pop3-movemail)
instead...?
