I think that the archive is intended to be used in cases of a complete

couple of reasons why it would be useful to have archive records removed
from the catalog.

(a) So that the next partial backup (incremental/differential) is not
affected by the archive. ie.  regular backups proceed normally.

(b) A normal restore to a client would come from the backup tapes which
are presumed more easily accessible than archive tapes which might be
taken offsite.

Very slick!  Any chance I could convince you to do a slightly more
detailed writeup on the wiki? =)

Sorry for the delayed response. I haven't had much time this week to keep up with the mailing list. I'll try and find some time in the next few weeks for a more detailed description of using a seconda catalog for archiving.
