Yo have two POP accounts listed. Does it get mail from either server?

I think you have some a problem there. Several, possibly. One is
your second line, which I think should be
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
instead of
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "private")))
I wonder if (setq mail-sources nil) isn't creating a problem.
Also, there's no quote (') before
(add-to-list 'mail-sources '(pop :user "gpond" :server "loyno.edu"
:password "password"))
and the name of the server looks incomplete (loyno.edu not pop.loyno.edu).
Try filling in the relevant information for each server into this:
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
(eval-after-load "mail-source"
'(add-to-list 'mail-sources '(pop :server "pop.newsguy.com"
:user ""metonymy"
:password "password")))
and see if that works. If so, use that in your .gnus or .emacs.
HTH!
