This is because the archive is in XML property list format and your  
copy of the base library is built without XML support.
I have updated the code in CVS to use binary format archives by  
default.  This is what it should have been doing anyway, but at the  
point when the keyed archive code was written the binary format  
property list support had not been done, so it used XML format by  
default.  Anyway, the change should get your program working (it did  
for me).

It would be nice if someone could find a copy of libxml2 for windows  
which would work with GNUstep ... then we could add instructions for  
using it to the documentation in the gnustep-make package, so that  
windows users could have xml parsing support in gnustep, but at the  
moment I don't know how to get any version of libxml2 for windows to  
link/work with the base library.
