What is going on??
MTA = postfix
./configure --with-mail-gid=postfix --with-cgi-gid=nobody

Marking invalid because of its age and because this was apparently a permissions issue and has probably been resolved.

Note that the create script is invoked via a wrapper and the wrapper should be in Mailman's group and SETGID so the create script should run with effective group set to Mailman's group and this should be the group of /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases(.db) so this error should not occur.
