It was helpful when you showed the commands and output in your last 
email.  Did you repeat all the steps, or just do get?  You must have 
unregistered your old archive, I'd expect.  Is that right?

Mirrors can be local or remote.  If the mirror has the real name, you 
can get, but not commit.  If the mirror has another name, you can't get.
