It seems Gnus did not notice yet that a new mail is in in
mail.2009-10. Since I cannot reproduce this, I don't know why that
happens. You mentioned that you're using the agent; maybe that's the
cause of this issue.

If you want to further debug this, the best place to start is
gnus-inews-do-gcc, where the actual sending happens with the call to
gnus-request-accept-article here:

              (when (or (not (gnus-check-backend-function
                              'request-accept-article group))
                        (not (setq group-art
                                   (gnus-request-accept-article
                                    group method t t))))
                (gnus-message 1 "Couldn't store article in group %s: %s"
                              group (gnus-status-message method)))

Maybe a

(gnus-request-group group nil method)

after the sending will force Gnus to update the active information. I'm
not sure.
