I have these setting:
  (setq gnus-home-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus")
  (setq gnus-init-file "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/.gnus.el"
        gnus-inhibit-startup-message t)
in ~/.emacs

and this:
(setq message-directory (concat gnus-home-directory "/Mail"))
in ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/.gnus.el

I also check the enviroment, no $SAVEDIR defined.
So be confused much.

I didn't set the gnus-directory,  will try it.
