I modified 200process_archive to the following:

zobel@picconi:/srv/packages.debian.org/cron.d% git diff 200process_archive 
diff --git a/cron.d/200process_archive b/cron.d/200process_archive
index 29a7385..8d8d6dc 100755
--- a/cron.d/200process_archive

Maybe that helps to find out what happens and what fails.

Cheers,
Martin
