I'll bet your list name has capital letters in it...  Majordomo
smashes all list names to all-lower-case before attempting to use the
list name as part of a filename.  So, while it's OK to advertise (for
instance) "Majordomo-Users" and have the headers say
"Majordomo-Users", the _files_ all need to be "majordomo-users*".
