GNU Mailman "No such file or directory" error

Hello all,

I'm getting strange GNU Mailman errors on a Ensim Web Appliance machine. 
/var/logs/maillog has entries like this

Jul 26 18:46:52 ded116-lin-79-116 Mailman mail-wrapper: No such file or 
directory

The message

The original message was received at Tue, 26 Jul 2005 18:38:43 -0400
from root at localhost

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/home/mailman/mailman/mail/mailman post mylistname"
    (reason: 4)
    (expanded from: <mylistname at myhost.org>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
No such file or directory
554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 4

Note that "No such file or directory" is being outputted by mailman, not 
by sendmail; it does the same if you run it from a shell. Checkperms has 
permissions set ok - I can also view the list via listinfo and 
administrate it via the web interface. It seems to only have a problem 
with mailman/mail/mailman program.

Any ideas? Any more information I can post that might help?

Thanks, and take it easy,

---
