Unfortunately, this probably won't work. The listname.mbox/listname.mbox
path is special to Private.py. It doesn't allow access to arbitrary 
files in the listname.mbox directory.

As Brad suggests, you can reconstruct an overall .mbox file from the 
monthly .txt or .txt.gz files. You can pretty much just concatenate 
them, but you may need to edit From: headers and From_ separators to 
change ' at ' back to '@' in addresses. Also see 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-April/044137.html 
for some other potential issues with the .txt files.
