Using a resource file to define these variables will not work.  You
need to define the variable on the command-line and only reference it
in your resource file.  For example:

  mhonarc -definevar 'LIST-NAME=mylist' -rcfile myrc.mrc mylist.mbx

In myrc.mrc, you use $LIST-NAME$.

You will need to give a different -definevar setting for each
list input you are archiving. For example, if I have list called
"anotherlist", I would invoke mhonarc as follows:

  mhonarc -definevar 'LIST-NAME=anotherlist' -rcfile myrc.mrc anotherlist.mbx

If you are still confused, better help may be offered if you provide
exactly how you call mhonarc for the various lists you archive.
