That is indeed more helpful. Will this no longer leave the ',,xxxxx' work 
directory when it fails?

I came across this two different ways. Once was moving the archived file into 
an unarchived directory. The other was removing a directory (arx rm --id) and 
missing an archived file within it.

That's a good suggestion. Might be easier to implement than a check on the 
commit/diff operation I was thinking of that could display the problem files 
and directories. Though the improved error message can report both conditions 
without having to make, I assume significant, changes to the mv and rm 
commands.
