Can't get splitting to work with nnmaildir

[Yury Bulka]

Dear list,

I fetch my mail locally with an external program (mpop) that puts it
into ~/.Mail/INBOX which is symlinked to ~/.nnmaildir/primary. This
works fine.

Now I'm trying to make Gnus put mail from a certain mailing list
to a separate group ("list.sc").

With this config:

(setq gnus-select-method
'(nnmaildir "primary"
(directory "~/.nnmaildir/")
(get-new-mail t)))
(setq mail-sources '((file)))
(setq nnmail-split-methods
'(("list.sc" "^List-Id:.*sc-users\.create\.ucsb\.edu.*")
("primary" "")))

When I run `gnus-summary-respool-trace` on a message from that list, it
correctly reports "This message would go to list.sc".

However, when I hit B r (gnus-summary-respool-article) the message just
gets put back into "primary" instead of "list.sc" group.

Will be very grateful for any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong here.

Thanks,
Yury.
