Ah! I was relying on check_perms and did not look directly at the error
logs.

Ok, so I ran...

chown -hR mailman private/

... and changed the owner of everything in there to the mailman user. I
then ran...

./unshunt

... which took a long time to process, and then I ran...

./arch listname

... which did not seem to have resolved the issue, so I ran...

[root at domain bin]# ./arch --wipe listname
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox

... which resulted in ...

Traceback (most recent call last):

... so no March errors, and I'm still not getting anywhere.
