I've done my best to 'match' the created file systems during the config/make phases, but their distribution between /usr/lib/ and /var/lib are different, and I'm wondering if I've missed something, or if I can just press forward with rsyncing the old to the new regardless of where they now lie, as long as the contents are correct. What I mean is:

so, it should work as long as old 'data' goes to new 'data', old 'qfiles' goes to new 'qfiles'... correct?
No. You only want to rsync the /directories in the new /var/lib/mailman directory. You do not want to rsync the /usr/lib/mailman directories as that will reinstall your Mailman 2.1.20. I.e., the only directories to move are archives, data, lists, locks, logs, qfiles and spam. Also, if your old server is shut down, locks and qfiles should be empty.
You also need to move the old Mailman/mm_cfg.py to /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py, but nothing else from the Mailman directory.
Presumably you've run `make install` on the new server, but after you rsync the old directories, you should run `make update` or simply run `/usr/lib/mailman/bin/update to make any 2.1.20 -> 2.1.39 adjustments to the list configs.
