Did you add the Alias to you webbrowsers config?

- Configure your web server to point to the Pipermail public
  mailing list archives:

  For example, in Apache:

  Alias /pipermail/ $varprefix/archives/public/

  where $varprefix is usually $prefix unless you've used the
  --with-var-prefix option to configure.

I've allready seen this error, but it's was months ago.
Check this:
- Is /var/mailman/ and every files/dirs in it owned by mailman.mailman?
  If not, make a 'chown -R mailman.mailman /var/mailman' (as root)
- Is /var/mailman/ set gid? If not make a 'chmod g+w mailman.mailman'
- Are the cronjobs in user mailman's crontab? If not, 'su mailman' and
  'cd ~/cron' and 'crontab crontab.in'
- Is wrapper linked to /mta-exec-dir/? If not make as root 'cd
  /mta-exec-dir' and 'ln -s /var/mailman/mail/wrapper wrapper'

And if it was one of the problems above, read docs next time.

Bye
 Jonas
