wellll :-)
/home/mailman/archives/private/membership is actually a symlink to a
directory in a user's account.  however, i don't really understand why
mailman should have trouble writing in that directory if it has all
the correct permissions?  mailman has no problems creating archives
without attachments in that directory (and in the membership.mbox
directory which is also a symlink).

# ls -lR /home/mailman/archives/private/membership/attachments
/home/mailman/archives/private/membership/attachments:
total 0
