'arch' is not normally run to archive mail; it's merely a "rebuild"
convenience command. Mails are normally archived internally by
invoking methods in Archiver.py, specifically (usually) ArchiveMail().
However, diagnosing 'arch' would be a good thing to do.

My standard recommendation: can you run arch under some sort of
system-call-trace utility, and watch what files it opens (or tries)
and what it tries to write? Solaris: truss Linux: strace
