Tokio's suggestion to move (or copy) lists/<listname>/config.pck aside
and then remove and recreate the list and then move the config.pck
back is a good one, but a simpler idea is if there is no
archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox file, just do

bin/arch --wipe sked /dev/null

or whatever your other list names might be.

I tested that this time and it works :-)
