First, if you are trying to rebuild the entire archive, you should be
specifying --wipr ti bin/arch, BUT first verify that the
archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox has the complete archive.

It seems that it may not.

That is a normal result.

Then the recent posts are probably not in the
archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox file, perhaps because of
some permissions error. If that is the reason, they are probably all
shunted and in the shunt queue. If so, you will find error messages
and tracebacks in Mailman's error log and running bin/unshunt will
probably archive the messages assuming the permissions or whatever
issue has been fixed.
