Steve,
You're first problem looks like a classic "permission denied"
problem. I'd suggest running bin/check_perms to see if that clears up
your problems.
The second issue you had (no module name "time") looks like your
Python installation is broken. You should be able to do something

I recently installed mailman 2.1 (upgrading over our mailman 2.13) to correct a
problem with list admin passwords.
At the time of the upgrade, I was running python 2.1
Today I finally ran genaliases to modify the old mm list aliases for the new
