Try something like

$cmd= "/usr/bin/wget -P/tmp --post-data 
'subscribees=$email&adminpw=$password&send_welcome_msg_to_this_batch=0&send_notifications_to_list_owner=0' 
http://www.emdrhap.org/mailman/admin/$list/members/add";
print $cmd;
system($cmd,$returnval);

to see if there might be something funky going on with the command line. 
Have you properly escaped the $list, $email, and $password? If a space 
creeps up in there it could throw it all off.

If all else fails, you might want to try the CURL functions to post and 
retrieve data from a remote script.
