Also see
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.004.htp>
and perhaps other FAQs including 4.6 and 4.18 and 4.29.

config.db went away in Mailman 2.1. It is now config.pck. The
instructions in the article you point to contain unnecessary steps. It
isn't necessary to create the list with newlist on the new server.
Also, the config.db files they refer to (now config.pck files) are in
the lists/listname/ directories, so following the steps literally will
move them twice.
