I think it is related to samba.  I used smbmount to mount /var/lib
mailman from a different machine, the one that has postfix.  The local
machine has the web server.  When I told smb.conf to be case sensitive
then I couldn't ls the mailbox.py file in the Mailman directory but I
still have the problem.  I've unmounted/remounted, restated samba,
apache.  Still no joy.
