Yes, surprisingly there was no mailman file or directory in
/usr/local/mailman/mail after installation. However, I later decided
not to use python package and gcc4 provided by Blastwave CSW and
infact removed all references to csw/lib and csw/bin from PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and decided to use old gcc version from /usr/local/bin
and python from /usr/sfw/bin and installed Mailman again. This way
everything is working fine. In fact check_perms also worked fine this
time. :)

Thanks much. Issue resolved.
