[Mailman-Users] problem moving from one machine to another

I have been using mm since b6 or so, and it has been great. I had a
hardware failure on my server, and decided to retire that machine and move
its address and services to another machine with RedHat 6. I have
installed rc1 on it with no problems; set up a test list with success in
every way (send mail to the list, configure via web interface, etc.).
However, I am unable to get my old lists to function (I copied the entire
directory tree from the old drive). If I try to go to the admin page for
one, I get an "Internal Server Error" and mail sent to it dies and goes to
the postmaster:

Subject: Postmaster notify: Service unavailable
Parts/Attachments:

The original message was received at Sat, 29 May 1999 22:41:53 -0500
from localhost

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
|"/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner rtctable"
    (expanded from: rtctable-admin)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
sh: wrapper not available for sendmail programs
554 |"/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner rtctable"... Service

And in the maillog, I get this sort of thing:

May 30 22:12:01 jerrya sendmail[1257]: WAA01257:

Now, I am able to send mail to my new test list, and I have the link in
/etc/smrsh/ to the wrapper. File and directory permissions all look
identical between the old lists and the test list. I can't figure out what
I'm missing here. HELP!! :-)

Thanks!
