Sounds like you have a group but no
corresponding directory. For example, I have

    /home/incal/Mail/drafts
    /home/incal/News/drafts
    /home/incal/News/drafts/drafts

do you have it/them as well?

Also try

    M-x apropos-value RET drafts RET

where I have (among other hits)

    message-auto-save-directory
       "/home/incal/Mail/drafts/"

Sounds likely, right?
