The 'group writable directory' error means that /one/, not just the thing
at the end of the path, of the directories in the path listed is group
writable and because of sendmail's configuration majordomo cannot access
the file.

So you need to check permissions on:

/usr
/usr/test
/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.5
/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.5/lists

And make certain that none of those directories are group-writable.  Of
course, you can use the DontBlamSendmail option in you sendmail.cf but
that is the much more unsafe option.
