ctl_cyrusdb -c reports "unable to archive environment"

[Michael Ellis]

I am happy to report that things are starting to shape up.

Besides not being able to see the text I enter into "cyradm", the most 
nagging problem I am having right now is in determining why 
"ctl_cyrusdb -c" fails.

When I issue that command from the /var/imap directory (as the cyrus 
user), I get the following dumped to stdout:
ctl_cyrusdb: unable to archive environment
ctl_cyrusdb: unable to archive environment

Checking the system log revels these errors:
Jul 24 19:23:17 powermac7300 ctl_cyrusdb[12952]: checkpointing cyrus 
databases
Jul 24 19:23:17 powermac7300 ctl_cyrusdb[12952]: DBERROR: archive 
/var/imap/db: cyrusdb error
Jul 24 19:23:17 powermac7300 ctl_cyrusdb[12952]: DBERROR: error 
archiving log file: /var/imap/db/log.0000000001
Jul 24 19:23:17 powermac7300 ctl_cyrusdb[12952]: DBERROR: archive 
/var/imap/db: cyrusdb error
Jul 24 19:23:17 powermac7300 ctl_cyrusdb[12952]: done checkpointing 
cyrus databases

Obviously, I am concerned about deploying the mail server with these 
errors in place.

Can somebody familiar with how the "ctl_cyrusdb" archives its data 
offer any advice?

Thanks...
