Here's the solution I came up with. Much easier then doing it for each individual list. In my case, it's set as a cron job to run in the middle of the night every night. 
Note: de-announce is the name of the master list I'm using -- replace it with the list of your choice.

---------------------
#!/bin/ksh
/home/mailman/bin/remove_members -a de-announce 
cd /home/mailman/lists/
for i in `ls`
do echo $i
touch /home/mailman/tmp/masterlist.txt 
/home/mailman/bin/list_members -o /home/mailman/tmp/masterlist.txt $i  
/home/mailman/bin/add_members -n /home/mailman/tmp/masterlist.txt -w n de-announce 
rm /home/mailman/tmp/masterlist.txt
done
--------------------
