What you are seeing here is an attempt to create the file 031 by majordomo.

Just like when you "cat file1 file2 file3 > file4" to create file4 with the contents of files 1, 2, and 3.

755 is only good if the ownership is also correct.  Make sure they are not owned by root.root instead of majordomo.majordomo.  /var and /var/lib can and should be owned by root, but need to be 755.  /var/lib/majordomo needs to be owned by majordomo.majordomo and can be 750, 751, or 755.  My preference is 755.  /var/lib/majordomo/digest also needs to be owned by majordomo.majordomo and 75x, and /var/lib/majordomo/digest/art21-digest needs to be 75x and owned by majordomo.majordomo.
