[Mailman-Users] messages locked in "shunt" directory

[Hartmut Steffin]

hi guys,

short question: why are my messages shunt?

long description:

since a few days the archives are not updated. everything else works, i.e. you can send messages, subscribers receive a.s.o.
the archive does not reflect changes since a week or so. i looked into the directories. not only the html files are unchanged, but mboxes too. investigating further, i found a directory 
~mailman/qfiles/shunt
which seems to hold all messages since the last update. is there a cronjob missing? did i do s.th. stupid in configration?

mailman-2.1.2-44

my cronjobs are:

0 8 * * * /usr/bin/python -S /usr/lib/mailman/cron/checkdbs
0 9 * * * /usr/bin/python -S /usr/lib/mailman/cron/disabled
0 12 * * * /usr/bin/python -S /usr/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests
0 5 1 * * /usr/bin/python -S /usr/lib/mailman/cron/mailpasswds
# 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/bin/python -S /usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news
27 3 * * * /usr/bin/python -S /usr/lib/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip
