Aaron, I seem to no longer have Michael's upthread posting around, 
so I'm keying off your post to respond to him.

Fix that using /var/lib/mailman/bin/arch to re-gen the archive, like:

$ su -
# su - list
$ cd /var/lib/mailman
$ bin/arch -q --wipe balug-test archives/private/balug-test.mbox/balug-test.mbox
$ exit
# exit
$

You don't want to be the root user, or you'll end up having to later
retroactively chown to list:list the generated archves.  (I've made that
mistake a time or three.  Maybe you just figured that out.  ;->  )

/var/lib/mailman/bin/arch will set permissions right.  Just don't run it
as the wrong user.

(The 'arch' in $PATH is of course something else entirely.)
