I'm also fighting this. As it stands, before 0.5.0.6 (I think I used .3 before that) you did not have to enter the passphrase when you used archivedir (after all, the data is stored locally where it does not need to be encrypted) which is why I used the feature in the first place (that and the fact that you can save a lot of BW on incremental backups).

So for some reason, it now wants to decrypt remote archive files but fails because it does not ask for the password. Ideally, the way it should be working is do not ask for password if you can use local, unencrypted archivedir data.
