Do you have the archive registered with a relative path?
Try tla archives

tla requires you to use absolute paths. I think at one point there was a 
patch being discussed that would cause tla to automatically expand 
relative paths to absolute ones, or at least detect a relative path and 
warn you.

To clarify you should have done:
tla register-archive /home/arch/archives/.....
not
tla register-archive archives/.....
(or make-archive, or however the user "arch" got the archive.)
Easiest fix is to just "tla register-archive -f"
