I have little idea how you would debug the actual error. The above
message is a Mac OS or Darwin message. If you have no lists that are
gating messages from usenet, cron/gate_news does virtually nothing
other than creating a lock file. If it has a problem with that, it
logs it in Mailman's 'fromusenet' log.
Do Mailman's other cron jobs run OK?
If you aren't gating news, you can remove or comment the gate_news
entry in Mailman's crontab.
