Simple problem -- you are manually defining the archive tables, which you
are not supposed to do. When auth.enable_record_versioning() is called, it
notices the archive tables already exist, so it aborts and therefore never
adds the ._before_update callback that does the actual archiving. Just call
auth.enable_record_versioning(), and it will define the tables
automatically.
Also, I'm not sure why you have this:
db.mediatitles_archive.editable = False
DAL tables do not have an "editable" attribute for use with the API. Is
that a custom attribute you are using in your own code somewhere?
