Have you done

  ls -l /opt/nsp/mailman/archives/private/

and compared the group and permissions on mph to those of other lists?
In particular, they should be Mailman's group and permissions drwxrwsr-x

And have you done

  ls -l /opt/nsp/mailman/archives/private/mph/

Here, the group and permissions on all the .txt and .txt.gz files should
be Mailman's group and permissions -rw-rw-r--
