Mailman's IncomingRunner is trying to save an updated list object. It
has saved it to lists/LISTNAME/config.pck.tmp.HOSTNAME.PID. It then
tries to remove lists/LISTNAME/config.pck.last, create
lists/LISTNAME/config.pck.last as a hard link to
lists/LISTNAME/config.pck and finally rename
lists/LISTNAME/config.pck.tmp.HOSTNAME.PID to
lists/LISTNAME/config.pck .
The creation of lists/LISTNAME/config.pck.last as a hard link to
lists/LISTNAME/config.pck is being denied by the OS.

It's not too likely, but this may be a permissions issue that can be
fixed by running Mailman's bin/check_perms -f as root.

More likely, SELinux or some other security manager is involved.

Because of the above exception, the message has been moved to the shunt
queue where it can be reprocessed after the underlying problem is
resolved by running Mailman's bin/unshunt.
