Try also setting `gnus-directory' to that same path or something inside
it.

If that isn't sufficient, this is what I had to do in gnus-mock to make
sure absolutely all Gnus-related everything went in the same directory:

(setq some-directory "~/.config/emacs/gnus"
      gnus-home-directory some-directory
      gnus-directory (expand-file-name "News/" some-directory)
      message-directory some-directory
      gnus-startup-file (expand-file-name ".newsrc" some-directory)
      gnus-init-file (expand-file-name ".gnus.el" some-directory)
      nndraft-directory (expand-file-name "drafts/" some-directory)
      gnus-agent-directory (expand-file-name "agent/" some-directory))
