we private archive all our lists - and its come the time where we
need to free space up on the volume that its archiving to. We are using
version 2.1.12.
We tried to edit the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file to
remove the messages we don't want and then run 'bin/arch --wipe listname' and
got:

The archive was completely lost and restored from backup. Any help would be
appropriate.
This is due to an incompatibility between Mailman 2.1.12 and the email
package in some Python 2.4.x releases. See the March 2009 note in the
FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/pYA9 which includes a link to a patch
to the Python lib/email/Charset.py module to fix this.
Also see the comment thread in the bug report at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/328353.
I'm surprised that this was the only place you noticed this problem.
Are there occasional shunted messages and error log tracebacks?
