The word on GEnie's A2 BB is Archiver has a memory problem.  
If there is less memory available during the restore than 
there was when the archive was done, it won't work.  It is 
likely that 6.0.1 is using more memory than 6.0 was.  Maybe 
doing a SHIFT-boot (to deactivate all the INITs and desk 
accesories) would clear things up enough to get to your data.
Just select the Archiver when you get the dialog asking for 
the program to run.  If that doesn't do it, try using 6.0 
and/or SHIFT-booting 6.0.

Good luck.
