nnml-get-new-mail is a server variable, i.e. it should be set per
server. Try the following setup:

 (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
        '(
          (nnml "brett" (nnml-directory "~brett/Mail/") (nnml-get-new-mail t))
          (nnml "mairix" (nnml-directory "~brett/.mairix") (nnml-get-new-mail 
nil))
          )
 )

and delete the line that sets nnml-get-new-mail globally.

I wonder how Gnus decides where to put new mail when both servers have
nnml-get-new-mail set to t... Maybe Gnus should issue a warning when it
encounters a setup like this...
