Yes that did it! I had all the folders set correctly *except* for the /private folder itself. Changing that from root to www-data did it for me.

Thanks!

In any case, I changed it to:

restarted apache and it's still Forbidden.

Who owns the folders? They (and contents) need to be readable by the user

Good point. In particular, the archives/private/ directory itself must
either be world searchable or owned by the web server user. A possible
mistake is to see the warning about o+x from check_perms and set o-x
without changing ownership per the installation manual. See the
warning box at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node9.html>.

And if that isn't the solution, please report what's in the apache
error_log for the forbidden access.
