It's a recently discovered bug in check_perms fixed for 2.1.10. See
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-June/057487.html>.

You can now run bin/unshunt to reprocess the shunted messages, but
first look at the files in qfiles/shunt to make sure there aren't
unwanted stale messages there. You can use bin/dumpdb or
bin/show_qfiles (although there is a bug in 2.1.5 show_qfiles that
affects some entries, but probably not these) to look at the
individual *.pck files in qfiles/shunt and can just remove unwanted
ones before running bin/unshunt.
