I've tried [1] to modify Osamu's defadvice to do what you want. It
almost does what you want, except that I have not been able to
properly set the `org-map-continue-from' variable. ( May be someone
else can help. )
With the present function, you have to run the `org-map-entries'
function multiple times, until all your items have been archived.
Hope this helps,
Puneeth
