Are you using the FC5 mailman package or did you build it from source?
The locations of the directories are changed in the FC package.  Is it
possible that your apache setup is looking in the wrong place for the
archives?

Are the archive mboxes getting created?  On a standard source install
they should be at:

    $prefix/archives/private/$listname.mbox/$listname.mbox

The FC5 package has them at:

    /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/$listname.mbox/$listname.mbox
