This may be a dumb question, but you say the list is public because
archive_private=0.  I assume archive_private refers to the lists archives,
not the advertisement of the list itself.  Check the first option on the
privacy page, and make sure the list is set to be advertised.

Also, did you ever try putting VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW=0 in mm_cfg.py?

IIRC, setting this to 1 means "only advertise lists whose url matches the
current browser's url", and setting it to 0 means "advertise all public
lists, regardless of the url".

The default value is 1, which bit me because it does a case-sensitive
comparison of the list url and the browser url.  The end user would only
see the advertised lists if they happened to type in the url in the same
case as the configured list url.
