This (--with-cgi-gid=root) says Apache is going to execute your CGI
wrappers as group root. While this may be correct, it is certainly
unusual.

If you ran check_perms -f as root until there were no errors,
presumable the permissions on /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/admin and the
other wrappers are correct. I.e. like the following except perhaps for
owner

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 15989 Jun 30 11:23 admin

If this is the case, in particular if the wrapper is world readable and
executable, there must be a SELinux or other security policy manager
infolved that's preventing access to the file.
