The problem is that the rundig process ends up trying to generate some shareable (across the entire intallation) db files in htdig's COMMON_DIR. If rundig is first run by the root user then the files are created OK. But running as mailman the shared file generation fails because of access permissions and is redone (and fails again) each time rundig is run on behalf of a list by nightly_htdig.
I solved the problem by making /var/www/htdig/common owned by root:mailman and giving the group write privileges over the directory. If you are concerned about the security of this then I think you could revert the privileges over that directory after the db file in common have been created. Personally, I do not bother.
