You might consider upgrading to version 2.0.13... It's been quite awhile since I played with 2.0.8, but it looks like a locking problem. You might want to check for any older lock files that are still in the ~mailman/locks directory. If there are, the lock files have the number of the running process as part of their name.
You can use "ps -ax |grep <number>" to try and find the process that created the lock file. If you do not find the process, delete the lock file. Also, as a long-shot, you might want to run ~mailman/bin/check_perms -f to make sure that the rights for your locks directory is setup properly.
