You're using cPanel from the looks of it.  cPanel patches the standard
Mailman source to allow for multiple lists with the same name in
different domains.  The way they do this is to add the domain name
onto the listname.  Obviously, they didn't make the patch change the
output of list_lists though and this is confusing (it would be even
more confusing if you actually had multiple lists of the same name and
used the --bare option to not display the list descriptions).

Try adding _yourdomain.tld to the list name when you call
list_members.  Something like:

    ./list_members epistle_example.com

You can see the real list name when you go to the list's web pages, if
you need to figure out what domain name to add.
