Steve,

 From my mailman archives:

total 16
drwxrwsr-x    4 mailman  mailman      4096 Feb 19  2003 ./
drwxrwsr-x   20 mailman  mailman      4096 Aug 23  2003 ../
drwxrws--x   28 mailman  mailman      4096 Feb 29  2004 private/
drwxrwsr-x    2 mailman  mailman      4096 Feb 29  2004 public/

I've had issues with mailman before that turning on group write 
permissions fixed.  I set all of my dirs with "chgrp mailman" and "chmod 
u=rwx,g=rwxs" leaving the owner name and other permissions as installed. 
YMMV, but this works for me.
