you should probably define listdir as:
$listdir = "/usr/users/majordom/majordomo/lists";
i.e withouth the / at the end

i'll let someone else figure out the second part but in mine majordomo.cf
is in the majordomo homedir and is owned by majordom.majordom.
/etc/majordomo.cf is a symlink to this file.
