Thanks for reply.

Strange - I still get exactly the same error! The new list name I am 
using is exactly as included in the URI; I have tried all lowercase or 
even with the first letter uppercase - doesn't help.

The admin screen still shows the old name in the title line, twice right 
at the bottom, in the overview page, the name of the archives and so on. 
The URI of all these is showing the new name.

Could it be a permission problem on some file which is effectively hidden 
unless one knows where to look?!
