Actually, I gave you the wrong advice. The ln command should have been

ln config.pck config.pck.last

If that works, instead of trying this via the ln command, you could try
it in a python process. Again as user mailman in mailman's home directory do

bin/withlist -i

This will respond with a few lines followed by a >>> prompt. At the
prompts enter

import os
os.unlink('lists/services-officialunix.com/config.pck.last')

(ignore any non-existant file exception)

os.link('lists/services-officialunix.com/config.pck',
'lists/services-officialunix.com/config.pck.last')

You can enter that all on one line, or you can enter

os.link('lists/services-officialunix.com/config.pck',

which will result in a ... prompt to which you enter

'lists/services-officialunix.com/config.pck.last')

If that works, the question is why can you do it as mailman, but the
qrunners can't? Did you start Mailman by running bin/mailmanctl start as
root? If not, stop Mailman and then start is as root.
