you don't have write access to /home/mailman/locks.

are you running a system with symlink restrictions, perhaps?

is bin/wrapper setgid mailman?

Are there lockfiles in locks? Especially ones not owned by group 
mailman? If, for instance, locks/qrunner.lock was created by an 
earlier, misconfigured attempt and still hanging around in there, 
it'd hose you, because the attempt to set the lock fails. so check 
locks, and probably do a rm locks/*
