Bingo.  The PUT authorization for CFS-Y FILELIST in LISTSERV FILELIST
on LISTSERV@GITVM1 is CTL.  That means that only GIT LISTSERV Postmasters
have the authority to modify it.  If your LISTSERV maintainer wants you
to have the authority to modify it, he/she will have to change that
FAC to OWN.
 
Also, something that is probably clouding the issue:  There's an entry in
CFS-Y FILELIST that looks like:
   CFS-Y FILELIST ALL CFS ...
 
This entry is completely irrelevant.  LISTSERV will not honor it when
deciding who can modify CFS-Y FILELIST.  It will only pay attention to the
filelist definition in LISTSERV FILELIST.
 
But, even if it did, the FAC is not defined properly.  The FAC is defined
as:
   *: CFS = 'PAUL@GITVM1',
   *:       [log in to unmask]
 
Aside from the fact that that's not your real address, a FAC definition
should look something like:
   *+ CFS= PAUL@GITVM1
   *+ CFS= [log in to unmask]   Claudia Dizenzo
