I did check the error log and sure enough it's a permissions problem:

Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/clue-announce.mbox/clue-announce.mbox'

So, I was losing messages.  I didn't think that I was previously
because the one list I was testing did have the correct permissions
and so archiving was working correctly.

I can ask users to send me a copy of an mbox for the lists that were
not archiving.  I'm wondering if there is another way to retrieve them
from mailman.  I doubt it, but it never hurts to ask...

In any case, thanks a lot Mark!
