I have the following in ~/.gnus, so apparently I had the same problem at
some point...

(setq gnus-update-message-archive-method t)
(setq gnus-message-archive-method
      `(nnfolder "archive"
		 (nnfolder-directory  ,(expand-file-name "archive" message-directory))
		 (nnfolder-active-file ,(expand-file-name "archive/active" message-directory))
		 (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
		 (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))
