It could be any number of things...  

Why not replace the line above with something like

   PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = 'cat - > /tmp/archive.%(listname)s'

?  That should create a file in /tmp containing the contents of the 
message.  Or better yet:

   PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = 'cat - > /home/mailman/lists/archive.%(listname)s'

to make sure that you have write permission.

You also need to be running a newer version of Mailman (1.1 or greater).
