unshunt should only be run to move files from qfiles/shunt back to
their original queue after fixing the problem that caused them to be
shunted in the first place. The optional directory argument to unshunt
is intended for cases where you've moved files from qfiles/shunt to
some other (non-queue) directory. Running unshunt on a qfiles/
directory other than qfiles/shunt at best will do nothing and at worst
will result in lost messages (as it apparently did here).

Are there entries in the files in /usr/local/mailman/logs? If so, what
is in 'error', 'qrunner', 'smtp' and 'smtp-failure' whether you think
it's relevant or not. If not, then your Mailman logs are somewhere
else. Look at the LOG_DIR setting in Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py.
