No, I have SELinux off there.

The problem was at a higher directory for which mailman did not have 
execute (move into the directory) permission, so it couldn't stat the file 
(or directory in this case) because it counldn't get there.

The strange thing is that mailman's check_perms said that everything was 
OK, so I thing the logic of that script should get changed (sending a 
mail to the mailman list so they know).
