nightly_htdig failing ...

For a few days now, I am getting my nightly htdig failing. When I check the permissions on mailman home, of course I find problems with permissions, but this has not been happening previously. I haven't changed anything on this system for ages, except during upgrades.
root@gw:/usr/local/mailman/bin # ./check_perms directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/kictanet/attachments/20130508 directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/kictanet/attachments/20130509 Problems found: 2 Re-run as mailman (or root) with -f flag to fix root@gw:/usr/local/mailman/bin # ./check_perms -f directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/kictanet/attachments/20130508 (fixing) directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/kictanet/attachments/20130509 (fixing) Problems found: 2 Re-run as mailman (or root) with -f flag to fix root@gw:/usr/local/mailman/bin # ./check_perms -f No problems found root@gw:/usr/local/mailman/bin #
Any ideas what could be causing this?

check_perms is not perfect :(
The lack of permission in this case is correct. the files in /usr/local/share/htdig/common/ are base files. It looks like htdig is trying to replace them with ones from the kicktanet list. I don't think it should be doing that. Compare the /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/kictanet/htdig/kicktanet.conf file with ones from other lists and see if anything looks suspicious.
