[Mailman-Users] GID problems (and yes, I ran with --with-mail-gid)

Greetings,
I seem to be running into something that must be even more obvious than
running configure --with-mail-gid=X after doing a make clean (or even
removing everything and re-untarring)...
My logs say:
Feb 8 08:49:02 3C:tardis Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script.
WANTED gid 300, GOT gid 998. (Reconfigure to take 998?)
When I ran configure, I ran it as so:
./configure --prefix=/usr/people/mailman --with-mail-gid=300
And no errors were reported. Yet whenever I post to a list (in this
case, test) I get a bounce and a message in the log like above.
998 is the GID of a "guest" group which as far as I can tell, isn't
actually used for anything within mailman or sendmail.
My passwd entry for mailman:
mailman:x:301:300:Mail Man:/usr/people/mailman:/bin/csh
And group:
mailman::300:
I've also tried
mailman::300:mailman
as a group entry, but of course that didn't have any effect.
I must be missing something stunningly obvious...any assistance would be
gratefully accepted!
Oh, and the wrapper is set:
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 19192 Feb 8 08:46 wrapper*
thanks.
scott
