Alternatively, wipe out pending for select lists. Something like:

# useless cat award spews out only lists we wish to wipe
cat $PREFIX/clean-pending.dat | while read LISTNAME
do
  cp $PREFIX/request-template.db $PREFIX/lists/$LISTNAME/request.db
  rm $PREFIX/data/heldmsg-$LISTNAME-[+0-9]*.txt
done
