Yes, this settings should be sufficient.  All Gnus & Message variables
should be derived from this variables.  If not, it's a bug.

`gnus-kill-files-directory' _is_ derived from `gnus-directory':

(defcustom gnus-kill-files-directory gnus-directory
  ...)

Maybe you are (implicitly) loading parts of Gnus before evaluating
(setq gnus-directory "~/srcf/gnus") in your ~/.emacs file?

This probably is `nnfolder-directory' which should be derived from
`message-directory':

(defvoo nnfolder-directory (expand-file-name message-directory)
  "The name of the nnfolder directory.")

Bye, Reiner.
