nndraft:queue breaks between Quassia gnus 0.29 and V5.6.3

[Robley Hall <robley.hall1@virgin.net>]

Well, it either breaks, or I've done something to it...

If I create a mail message while unplugged, under 0.29 everything is
fine and works just as advertised.

If I create a mail message while unplugged under 5.6.3, the message
seems to "just go away" (not really it's in nndraft:queue but more on
that in a minute).

If I try to select nndraft:queue under 5.6.3, I get the following
three lines in my message buffer:

     Retrieving newsgroup: nndraft:queue...
     Opened server  using directory ~/News/drafts/
     Couldn't request group nndraft:queue: Opened server  using directory ~/News/drafts/

Now, if I create a mail message while unplugged under 5.6.3 and then
switch back to 0.29, nndraft:queue includes the mail message that I
just created.

Doing a "G p" on the nndraft:queue shows "nil", under both 0.29 and 5.6.3.

Have I missed something obvious somewhere? 
How do I get nndraft:queue to work under 5.6.3. Obviously I
don't have to preserve during the switch from 0.29 to 5.6.3, so
deleting/re-creating nndraft is ok with me, but how do I 
do that?

Thanks,
