Although you don't say what you're trying to do, the only place you
can get that message is in response to a 'get' request, so I'll assume
you're trying to 'get' a file using Majordomo 1.93.

That message is produced when the file name is invalid or the file
doesn't exist. If you're sure that $filedir/<listname>$filedir_suffix/XXX
exists ($filedir and $filedir_suffix are defined in your majordomo.cf,
<listname> is the name of your list, and XXX is the name of the file
specified in your 'get' command), then you either specified the file
as an absolute path (starts with a '/'), a path that descends the
directory tree (starts with '..'), or contains a character other than
alphanumeric, '-', '_', '.', and '/'.
