[Mailman-Users] Problem creating a new List

[Nikhil]

Hi All,
We are testing Mailman on Windows 2000 using cygwin.
I am using mailman-2.1.2 and exim-4.14.
I installed Mailman without any problems.
After that when I tried creating a new list using using ~/bin/newlist
I'm getting the output below:

$ /home/mailman/bin/newlist testList1 nikhilb at induslogic.com induslogic
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mailman/bin/newlist", line 219, in ?
    main()
  File "/home/mailman/bin/newlist", line 160, in main
    mlist.Create(listname, owner_mail, pw)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 449, in Create
    self.__lock.lock()
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 243, in lock
    self.__write()
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 422, in __write
    fp = open(self.__tmpfname, 'w')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/home/mailman/locks/<site>.lock.c
lovisqa.2816.0'

Am I missing something ?
I searched throughthe archive but couldn't find the answer.
I followed the instructions given at

Thanks,
