I don't know enough to point out errors in your setup, but here,
anyway, is mine (which works):

(setq mail-sources
      '((maildir :path "~/Maildirs/In/"
                 :subdirs ("new" "cur" "tmp"))))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '(
        (nnmaildir ""
                   (directory "~/.nnmaildir")
                   (create-directory "../Maildirs/")
                   (directory-files nnheader-directory-files-safe)
                   (get-new-mail t)
                   (expire-age never))
...
        ))

Qmail delivers new mail to ~/Maildirs/In/ which should not correspond
to any mailgroup in Gnus, since it is mentioned as a mail-source. I
don't quite remember how I created it, but it must either have been
created by Gnus, or I used the command "maildirmake".
