There is a patch that really fixes the --archive-dir problem that I
attempted to fix above.  It had nothing at all to do with Peter's
changes at all.

The patch is at https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?21646 and I
would appreciate it if someone would apply it and test it in their
environment to be sure.
