Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to what could be causing the admin page of this list not to work? Does the error have any detail in it? Do the Mailman logs reveal any details?

It's possible, but it may not be a problem with Mailman. Mailman only needs to get a little ways into its driver script for it to be able to give you better error reporting. It's possible that it's a gid problem, and for that, the web server logs should make that immediately clear.
