Confidential lists will not be listed. Neither will any lists if your 
site is not Runmode=Standalone. The solution is to either use 
Runmode=Standalone or to use the VISIBLE-LISTS template as described 
in the Tech Tip from the latest newsletter:

(Go to the LISTSERV Tech Tip and click on "MORE" to get the full 
article).

By the way, if you aren't subscribed to the LISTSERV at Work 
newsletter, I strongly recommend remedying that situation: that's the 
best source of news on new releases, and it always includes at least 
one tech tip, which generally highlight little-known but useful 
features or techniques that are not necessarily documented in detail 
in the formal manuals. (But by the way -- mea culpa -- I forgot to 
mention the Runmode issue in this particular tech tip, sorry). Also, 
the case studies are really great for showing how other organizations 
use LISTSERV and can spark some ideas for your own site. Since the 
newsletter is intended for existing customers, it's not full of 
marketing/sales fluff: the idea is to help customers make the best 
use of the product they have. 

You don't have to take my word for it -- see the archives at 
http://www.lsoft.com/news/n-archives-us.asp or 
http://www.lsoft.com/news/n-archives-eu.asp (European version) and 
see if you think subscribing would be beneficial to you.
