I checked the =meta-info of my local mirror. the 'name' and 'mirror' 
files both contain 'kevin@desertsol.com--2005-home-SOURCE'.

so I re-'make archive'ed the mirror, so that it has 
'kevin@desertsol.com--2005-home' in the name and mirror files. to do 
that, I registered the real archive with the 
'kevin@desertsol.com--2005-home' name, rather than the -SOURCE name.

after the initial archive-mirror command finished, I re-registered the 
two archives using the -SOURCE name for the 'real' archive and the 
normal name for the mirror. then archive-mirror was able to mirror from 
the -SOURCE to the local mirror.

so I guess the important part is what is stored in the 'name' and 
'mirror' meta-info files. the easiest way to set those correctly is to 
use temporary names when first creating the mirror, then switching to 
names you plan to use after that.
