I realized that I was actually missing mylist in the private archives. Once I issued bin/arch mylist it successfully rebuilt the archive. Thanks!

I am wanting to rebuild an archive but when I issue the following
command either as mailman or root:

bin/arch --wipe mylist
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/mylist.mbox/mylist.mbox

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I believe this one archive has not been working for a very long time. The permissions are:
drwxrwsr-x   2 mailman mailman   4096 Nov 19 12:11 .
drwxrws--x 200 mailman mailman  12288 Nov 19 12:14 ..
-rw-rw-r--   1 mailman mailman 502357 Sep  1 04:00 mylist


/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/mylist should be a directory, not a
file.

First make sure that
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/mylist.mbox/mylist.mbox looks like
it actually contains all the archived messages. Then look at
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/mylist and see what it is. If you
think you might want to keep it,

 mv /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/mylist somewhere/else

otherwise, just

 rm /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/mylist

Then do

 bin/arch mylist

without the --wipe option. You also don't need to specify
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/mylist.mbox/mylist.mbox as the
input as that is the defauly for 'mylist'.
