Can you try using mail-sources instead of mail-source-primary-source?
That works for me (the latter should work too, but check just in case).
Note mail-sources is a list of lists.

Also, my select method is

(nnmaildir "home"
           (directory "~/Maildir")
           (directory-files nnheader-directory-files-safe)
           (get-new-mail t))

so maybe you need get-new-mail?

Unfortunately I run Gnus from CVS so I hope this advice is useful.
