Mark, thanks for the info that did work for that particular error. But I
keep getting this one, and the number at the end changes. So I have to
keep adding a file. Is there some type of numbering system for
config.pck.tmp, is this related to a cron job
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/usr/local/mailman/lists/sis_directors/config.pck.tmp.lists.19678'

So the user who's crontab ran this does not have permission to create
the file.
Try doing
su - user
where user is the user who's crontab this is, followed by
touch /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/mailman/2007-October.txt.gz
