Sorry Mark, the problem was between the monitor and the chair.....ME!! I
was not running arch from the mailman bin folder so was running the
other arch command in /bin. My mistake, all works fine now and archives
moved.
Thanks for your help

Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately this didnt work completely
since all the html, attachements etc were not included.
That probably means that for the old list's Non-digest options ->
scrub_nondigest was set to Yes, so attachments, HTML, etc. were
removed before the message was archived.
If this is the case, you could do the following:
1: Copied archives/private/OLDLIST.mbox/OLDLIST.mbox to
archives/private/NEWLIST.mbox/NEWLIST.mbox
Yes.
Then run "bin/arch --wipe NEWLIST"
The problem now is you have to keep the
archives/private/OLDLIST/attachments directory because that's where
the links in the messages to scrubbed attachments point.
Either that or you could first edit
archives/private/NEWLIST.mbox/NEWLIST.mbox before running bin/arch and
change all the OLDLIST URLs to NEWLIST and then after running
bin/arch, move archives/private/OLDLIST/attachments to
archives/private/NEWLIST/attachments.
2: Copied everything in archives/private/OLDLIST.ca to archives/N EWLIST.ca
3: Edited archives/private/NEWLIST.ca/pipermail.pck so the basedir is
now archives/private/NEWLIST.ca
On the other hand, I have no idea what archives/private/OLDLIST.ca
might be. In standard Mailman there are only two directories per list
in archives/private, and they are archives/private/LISTNAME and
archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox, so You may be dealing with something
about which I know nothing.
I could then go to the archives page and see all the old messages just
fine, but a couple problems persist
1: If I send a message to the NEWLIST, it is processed fine, but the
archive html pages does not show the new postings?
2: All previous postings in the archives to OLDLIST, where there are
attachements, still point to the OLDLIST location
Is there any way to at least fix #1? that you know of
#1 could be permissions or anything. Is there anything in Mailman's
error log for these posts?
See above for #2.
