The "bogus archive directory" issue seems to come up fairly often.  Perhaps
it would be worthwhile to add a check to cron/nightly_gzip to find out if it
is simply a matter of there not yet being any articles to archive.  Mailman
could check post_id or last_post_time.  I've attached one possibility.
