When Mailman creates a list, it creates the
archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/ directory, and archiving expects it to
exist.

So if you move lists from another server by moving the lists/LISTNAME/
directory, but don't move the archives/private/LISTNAME*/ directories,
you have to manually create the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/
directory.
