(setq gnus-directory "~/srcf/gnus")
(setq message-directory "~/srcf/gnus/Mail")
is (essentially) what I use. Most of the other variables you're
setting inherit the values of message-directory or gnus-directory when
they're initialized.

You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most

slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when
death is on the line"!
