scenarii are precompiled into a per list binary data store 
( expl/<list_name>/config.bin ) . You have to tell it to rebuild config.bin 
after changing scenarii, either via the web interface or from the command 
line. Its reasonable to have to reload configs after making edits outside 
the wwsympa interface. OTOH I wonder how hard it would be to have the 
config.bin reload triggered automatically by saving a modified scenario 
from the web interface ? - perhaps you should make a feature request on the 
bug tracking site : http://sourcesup.cru.fr/tracker/?group_id=23
 
From the SYMPA manual :

Sympa will not detect that you a used scenario has changed on disk. You 
should run the sympa.pl -reload_list_config command to update the 
config.bin files.
