That should be the final message from bin/arch. If there are no
messages at all preceding that, then either there are no messages in
archives/private/<list>.mbox/<list>.mbox or it is not in the expected
format.

Also, archives/private/<list>.mbox/<list>.mbox is the default input
file for bin/arch, so the command above is equivalent to just

  bin/arch <list>
