Ok.

I put the archives/public folder back.

Toggling the archives setting on the publicly archived lists from public 
to private and back again created the symlinks.  So far so good.

All the archives work when in private state.  But I had to manually 
change the owner of all the publicly available list archives to _www in 
private in order for them to be readable.  Otherwise they get a big 
"Forbidden" message.  Should *all* the lists be _www? Everything in 
archives/private, or just the archive folders and not the mbox folders?  
The archives/private folder itself is already _www.

Thanks for your continued tolerance and assistance.
