I remember going through some minor contortions to get mytharchive
working on my standalone frontend as well, also running AT RPMs, several
months ago.
I did not run into your particular error, but I found it helpful for
troubleshooting purposes to run the command that mytharchive complained
about directly on the command line. I could usually see a more detailed
error message than would appear in the log, which in more than one case
gave me enough information to solve the problem.
