I finally compared the directory view in the finder to the list of files in the terminal. While doing an ls -al in the terminal config.pck.last was visible. When looking at the directory in the finder no such file existed. Removing the file via the cl did the trick. I once again have access to the list configuration via the admin interface.
I don't know what happened to that file but obviously Mailman was unable to overwrite it.
Hope this helps someone down the line.

Brad, thanks for the reply. I do understand that the Mailman installation on Mac OSX Server differs from other installations and is largely unsupported by the Mailman folks. However I have found at least two others who have encountered this exact same issue on the Mac. Currently there appears to be no solution aside from deleting and recreating the affected list. I would like to try and nail this issue down.
The error appears to occur on line 487 in MaliList.py
File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 487, in __save
os.unlink(fname_last)
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '/private/var/mailman/lists/mes-office/config.pck.last'
When I take a look at MailList.py line 487 occurs in a routine that seems to backup and rotate the config.pck file. The variable that is defined in that routine, fname_last, should be config.pck.last. What could cause an invalid argument error when it appears that the correct value for that variable is being returned? I have checked the permissions in the directory, /private/var/mailman/lists/mes-office, and everything seems to be as it should.
Would a corrupt config.pck or config.pck.last file cause this problem?
Am I grossly misunderstanding what is happening here? Any insight or correction would be welcome. I am new to both Python and Mailman. That being said, I love Mailman.
