Do you need to supply a pathname to cat?  Incidentally, the above won't
work as you expect, but using tee would fix it:

   PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = '/usr/bin/tee /tmp/archive.%(listname)s > /home/mailman/archives/private/%(listname)s/archive.%(listname)s'

I'm not sure where 'tee' resides on your system, though.  I also haven't
tried this on the 2.0 release candidates; we're using 1.2 beta1 from
the older CVS tree.
