This doesn't answer your question, but until you figure out what's going
on, there's a command to add a group of subscribers at once.  It is:

   QUIET ADD listname DD=X IMPORT PW=your_password
   //X DD *
   user1@address1
   user2@address2
   ...
   userN@addressN
   /*

Since it's a single command only one confirmation is required no matter how
many people you add.

Incidentally, it's probably helpful in diagnosing your problem if you send
a copy of your mailing list's configuration here.
