I assume it really said "host archive-host" not "host archive-archive"? Normally the backup number argument should be >= 0. But BackupPC_tarCreate takes -1 to mean the last backup. So what you tried should work. The only explanations I can propose is that the host archive-host doesn't have any backups, or you didn't run the command as the backuppc user (meaning it didn't have permission to read the backups file).
