chmod 2771 /var/lib/mailman/archives/private

should fix the problem. The mailman group needs write access to this
directory and it should be SETGID so new subordinates are created whit
group mailman. If multiple users have access to the file system on
this server and you are concerned that they might be able to see
private list archives, then do

chmod 2770 /var/lib/mailman/archives/private
chown xxx:mailman /var/lib/mailman/archives/private

where xxx is the user that the web server runs as.

How about "/usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/create"?
