What does bin/list_lists report?

What does bin/check_perms run as root report?

What are the permissions on the lists/listname directory itself?

What does bin/dumpdb lists/listname/config.pck report? (You can elide
all the membership info. In fact, if you get a reasonable looking
report, you can just compare it to that of another list to verify that
it looks good.)
