I guess thats your site list missing :-)

That could be down to the lack of a site list.

However when I did this last year for the exim/wylug lists I found that
there was a database format inconsistency between 2.0.x and 2.1.5 -
somewhere in the 2.1.x series an incompatible change had been made which
broke things.  A solution might have been to have upgraded to 2.1.0 and
subsequently up from there.... I blew away the lists and recreated them
instead.

There may be another solution, but it did not immediately show up nor
did any one have a solution on the mailman lists.

The exim4 / Mailman 2.1 HOWTO at
http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html should be accurate...
