It could be a permissions issue on the
/private/var/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox directory or the
/private/var/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox
file. Check those by comparing to other lists. If this isn't the
answer, what's in Mailman's error log?

Also, be sure archiving is turned on for the list (Archiving
Options->archive on the admin web interface).
