If it was me I would be more inclined to mount the filesystem at that point
ie:

init 1
mv /var/lib/mailman/archives/ /mnt/hdb1/
umount /mnt/hdb1 ; mount -t {fs type} /dev/hdb1 /var/lib/mailman/archives
init 5

as symlinks don't work very well for somethings but that is just my opinion 
and I'm sure other people will beg to differ.
