Clearly there is some permissions issue on at least the 'in' queue if
not all the qfiles/ directories.

Try running 'bin/check_perms -f' as root. You may need to run it more
than once until it runs error free.

Does this list exist? Is there a lists/sunday2002-l/ directory? This is
a 'normal' error if someone tries to access a non-existent list via
the web interface.
