I would guess Oliver is right on the money re: permissions. To test that 
yourself from the command line, you need to ensure that you run the 
scripts as the user the web scripts is being run as. (I'm assuming that 
you're running the commands above from your own shell.)

Have you tried running them as the sympa user?

Try these commands instead:

su sympa -s /bin/bash -c "/home/sympa/bin/alias_manager.pl add 
aliastestlist unionlists.org.uk"

su sympa -s /bin/bash -c "/home/sympa/bin/alias_manager.pl del 
aliastestlist unionlists.org.uk"


Also in place of sympa try www-data (or whatever user your websserver 
runs as). AFAIK, it should run as sympa, but YMMV, depending on your setup.
