[Mailman-Users] Problem running sync_members under cpanel

[Hilton]

I'm using a hosting company that runs cpanel.
CentOS 4.1, cPanel 10.2.0-S83, Mailman 2.1.5p1

I don't have access to root, but what I'm trying to do is synchronise the
membership database via an uploaded text file.

This is the command that I've setup in the cron.

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/sync_members -w=no -g=no -a=yes -f
/home/lrocorg/mailman/export-lists/test.txt test_landrover.org.za

'lrocorg' is my username on the system and 'test_landrover.org.za' is the
mailman list that is assigned. The actual list name is just 'test'.

So I FTP the 'test.txt' to the respective directory under my home directory
and then run the cron job.

I then get this error message;

Any pointers please? As I said before, I don't have root access.
