I'm having the same problem.  The list files are definitely on the
disk of the machine upon which Majordomo is running.

I put some log statements in majordomo.pl, specifically in the
is_list_member function.  The function operates properly for the first
call to it (from do_unsubscribe), but subsequent calls never enter the
while loop after opening the list file.  (Note that the open doesn't
give an error.)

Any ideas?
