You may want to add

PIPFile=/home/mailman/data/master-qrunner.pid

However, I don't think that's relevant to your issue. I don't know why
the rm command doesn't work. How do you know it doesn't?

But, in any case, I don't think it's a good idea. the -s in '/mailmanctl
-s -q start' should suffice to clean any stale locks.
