The permissions on /var/lib/mailman/qfiles are not correct. Check if the
directory exists at all, and if it does, check its permissions .. They should
be something along the lines of:

drwxrwsr-x  10 root  mailman   512 Mar  7 20:50 qfiles
  

This directory should have several subdirectories with the following
permissions:

drwxrwx---  2 mailman  mailman  512 Apr 25 18:05 archive
drwxrwx---  2 mailman  mailman  512 Apr 25 20:20 bounces
drwxrwx---  2 mailman  mailman  512 Mar  7 20:50 commands
drwxrwx---  2 www      mailman  512 Apr 25 20:20 in
drwxrwx---  2 mailman  mailman  512 Apr 16 00:18 news
drwxrwx---  2 mailman  mailman  512 Apr 25 20:20 out
drwxrwx---  2 mailman  mailman  512 Apr 22 00:20 shunt
drwxrws---  2 root     mailman  512 Apr 25 20:20 virgin

Do note: These permissions are from my FreeBSD system .. since you use
Mandrake (oh $DIETY) it may look a bit different.

Offcourse, this is valid for Mailman 2.1.1 only .
