It is possible you forgot to run "newaliases" after editing your /etc/aliases file? Only other thing I can think of is that the permissions on your ~mailman tree might not allow the wrapper program to "post" to the list because either the script (post) or the lists directory permissions are too restrictive or otherwise incorrect.

Check the permissions on *all* path components from / to /personal/mailman/mail/wrapper.
Sendmail 8.9.x is very picky about group/world writable directories for delivery via pipes to programs (among other things). You might have to start fiddling with DontBlameSendmail option.
