Hi Patrick,
It looks like you may have two separate (seemingly unrelated) issues
here. At a glance both look to be easy to resolve.
More inline below..

This error means that the 'AIP' disseminator is not configured properly
in your 1.7.0 dspace.cfg file. I'm guessing that maybe you forgot to
add it in whenever you upgraded to 1.7.0 (or it somehow got accidentally
removed or commented out).
Your 'dspace.cfg' file should have an entry like this (notice the
defined disseminator for 'AIP')
---------
# Packager Plugin Configuration:
# Configures the ingest and dissemination packages that DSpace supports.
# These Ingester and Disseminator classes support a specific package
file format
# (e.g. METS) which DSpace understands how to import/export. Each
Packager
# plugin often will use one (or more) Crosswalk plugins to translate
metadata (see above).
plugin.named.org.dspace.content.packager.PackageDisseminator = \
org.dspace.content.packager.DSpaceAIPDisseminator = AIP, \
org.dspace.content.packager.DSpaceMETSDisseminator = METS, \
org.dspace.content.packager.RoleDisseminator = DSPACE-ROLES
plugin.named.org.dspace.content.packager.PackageIngester = \
org.dspace.content.packager.DSpaceAIPIngester = AIP, \
org.dspace.content.packager.PDFPackager = Adobe PDF, PDF, \
org.dspace.content.packager.DSpaceMETSIngester = METS, \
org.dspace.content.packager.RoleIngester = DSPACE-ROLES
---------
Also, please note that if you forgot to add in the AIP disseminator
section to your dspace.cfg, it's also very possible that you may not
have all the new metadata crosswalk configurations in place either
(which are used by the AIP disseminator to export metadata)
You may wish to do a full comparision of your dspace.cfg file with the
default 1.7.0 dspace.cfg file. Pay close attention to any new crosswalk
settings, and make sure you also have all the new "mets.dspaceAIP.*"
settings which are used by the AIP ingester and the new
"aip.disseminate.*" settings used by the AIP disseminator.
Here's the 1.7.0 default dspace.cfg file:
http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/tags/dspace-1.7.0/dspace/config/dspace.cfg
More on the dspace.cfg configurations used by the AIP Backup & Restore
Tool can be found in the documentation at:

In this case, it looks like your 'packager' command is slightly wrong.
The Handle should be specified using the '-i' flag. See the
documentation around "exporting an AIP hierarchy":
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC17/AIP+Backup+and+Restore#AIPBackupandRestore-ExportingAIPHierarchy
So, your command should instead be (notice I added a '-i' before the
Handle):
./dspace packager -d -a -t AIP -e u...@domain.ext -i HANDLE/0
{path-to-archive}/archive.aip.2012-01-12.zip
Hopefully this helps!
