Try making the first part of the command 'cat > /tmp/teststuff$$;' to 
insert the msg into a temporary file. Have the two subsequent command parts 
executing the archivers and taking their STDIN from the temporary file. 
Make the last part of the command 'rm /tmp/teststuff$$' to tidy up.

Something like this might work:

PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = 'cat > /tmp/teststuff$$; archiver-1-command 
%(listname)s-stuff < /tmp/teststuff$$; archiver-2-command 
%(listname)s-stuff < /tmp/teststuff$$; rm /tmp/teststuff$$'

I think the temporary files are safe but caveat emptor ...
