Oversight most likely. I'll submit a patch for 1.94.2. Note what it says
in the FAQ however:

    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 file names and archive directory names
    themselves all need to be in lower case. If you want to use
    mixed case, simply configure the list using the lower-case names
    everywhere, except put the mixed-case version in the "-l" and "-h"
    flags to resend.

Technically you shouldn't be putting upper-case names in the archive2.pl
arguments, but it doesn't currently enforce it.
