Sounds like qrunner isn't running.

OK, maybe qrunner is running, but it's crashing.
Try running qrunner manually -- ie. "su - mailman" and run the qrunner
crontab line at the shell prompt. Do you still get this traceback? (I
would expect you to.)
BTW, you forgot to mention:
* Mailman version
* Python version
* OS and OS version
* MTA and MTA version
