Alright, I got it sorted out. I'm now using the nnml backend. Here's
what fixed mail for me...
First, had to tell procmail to spew at another directory. Then,
flattened my mail tree to put all the mboxes in the same directory.
Added this to my .gnus.el
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
(setq mail-sources '((directory :path "~/procmail/"
:suffix "")))
I think the two biggest things that really should be more clearly
highlighted in the gnus docs is you need both statements.
