Dunno if it's relevant, but the manual says that you need to specify
"%t":

,----[ (info "(gnus)Mail Source Specifiers") ]
|     `:program'
|           The program to use to fetch mail from the POP server.  This
|           should be a `format'-like string.  Here's an example:
| 
|                fetchmail %u@%s -P %p %t
| 
|           The valid format specifier characters are:
| 
|          `t'
|                The name of the file the mail is to be moved to.  This
|                must always be included in this string.

Bye, Reiner.
