Are you saying that you create a new list and it creates a directory at
path/to/lists/new_list_name/ containing amomg other files, a
config.pck file, and that you have some path/to/lists/old_list_name/
directories with config.pck files, and the new_list_name is listed by
bin/list_lists, but the old_list_name is not?

Presumably you actually ran

  withlist -l -r fix_url list-name

withlist doesn't find the list 'list-name'

The above is really a bug in withlist in that it tries to run the
callable script (fix_url in this case) even though it failed to load
the list.

All of the above say there is not a lists/list-name/config.pck file in
the place mailman is looking for it.
