I reckon you misunderstand the function arima. If you're interested in the significance of any regressor, you should use the proper fitting tools. Check all the code examples from the book I recommended before on :
http://www.stat.pitt.edu/stoffer/tsa2/index.html There's a nice tutorial that explains quite well how to proceed. In the code for chapter 1-5 they give you examples for the functions you need to do formal testing of your regressors.
