Your entire select method config is already quoted, so there's no need
to additionally quote the value of `nnimap-split-methods' or
`nnimap-split-fancy'. And yes, the inbox should be a plain (unprefixed)
group name.

(Also, is there actually a `nnimap-authinfo-file' variable? What version
of Emacs/Gnus are you using?)
