Here is says:

    Expiring articles...
    Deleting article /home/ke/Mail/mail/rest/848 in mail.rest
    Deleting article /home/ke/Mail/mail/rest/849 in mail.rest
    Expiring articles...done

and that's the truth ;-)

I'm using:

(setq gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups
      (concat
       "mail.dssslist\\|mail.ftp\\|mail.de\\|mail.fr"
       "\\|mail.tei\\|mail.docbook\\|mail.gnus"
       "\\|mail.pgsqlsql\\|mail.pgsqlgeneral\\|mail.pgsqlnovice"
       "\\|mail.emacs-w3\\|mail.root")
      nnmail-keep-last-article nil
      nnmail-expiry-wait 14
      gnus-permanently-visible-groups "^nnml:")

(setq nnmail-expiry-wait-function
      (lambda (group)
	(cond ((string= group "mail.private")
	       31)
	      ((string= group "mail.junk")
	       1)
	      ((string= group "important")
	       'never)
	      (t
	       6))))
