The above seemed to work.  I restarted Mailman, and then when clicking the 
Archives link on the Listinfo page, I was taken to
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /pipermail/sked/ on this server.

I thought maybe I just needed to rebuild the archive, so I did that, but 
same error.  I looked at the permissions of 
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/sked.mbox and it is the same as my other 
lists that don't give the FORBIDDEN error - group-list, owner www-data, 2775 
(set GID).  Which page exactly has incorrect permissions?

Here's the bin/arch run:

Luke:/var/lib/mailman/bin# ./arch --wipe sked /dev/null
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./arch", line 187, in ?
    main()
  File "./arch", line 166, in main
    shutil.rmtree(mlist.archive_dir())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/shutil.py", line 142, in rmtree
    raise exc[0], (exc[1][0], exc[1][1] + ' removing '+arg)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory removing 
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/sked
Luke:/var/lib/mailman/bin#
