Ownership of symlinks is irrelevant. If the old server had actual files in archives/public rather than symlinks, the best recourse may be to rebuild the archive for those lists with bin/arch --wipe >3) on the old server, all .mbox files in archives/private are owned by >www, but on the new server by root.
