With this aliases I think that archive is trying to create files of
the form /usr/local/majordomo/lists/test.YYMM, in the
/usr/local/majordomo/lists directory. But in @archive_dirs what you
have is the directory /usr/local/majordomo/lists/test. I suggest that
you shoul modify the test-archive line as:

test-archive: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper archive -f \
    /usr/local/majordomo/lists/test/volume -m -a"
                                   ^^^^^^^
