Didn't you get this?

chef:/var/local/mailman/bin$ ./securelinux_fix.py
Fixes for running Mailman under the `secure-linux' patch.

If you have to run check_perms -f, make sure to also run securelinux_fix.py
-f, which applies the necessary permission fixes.

Is it the word wrap in the wrong place that caused you to miss it?
 
As  for  move_list  hanging,  yes,   since  you  used  mailman  without  the
