In most cases Mailman's directories should be drwxrwsr-x and be group 'mailman'. I'm not sure if the owner is important, but it's often root. Your trace shows: >IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: >'/var/lib/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck' mailmanctl is trying to read the configuration for the 'mailman' site list and is unable to do so. This is where the permission issue is.
