Did you set up ~/Maildir as your basic mail folder?  Balsa will  
find maildir setups *within* the root folder, and nested folders  
will be found automatically, and you can add a maildir setup  
*outside* the root folder (but nested folders will not be found  
automatically), but it may not handle maildir as the root folder  
itself.

HTH,
