The doc could well be a bit wrong in step 2 - please file a bug for that :)
I do use it successfully with the following script to start it though: #!/bin/sh version=1.0.1 PLEXUS_BASE=$HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Archiva /Applications/Archiva/apache-archiva-$version/bin/macosx-universal-32/run.sh $@ No modifications to the installation are needed. Maybe you were missing an export of PLEXUS_BASE before starting? (the above doesn't need it since it's all on one line, the env vars are passed to the second run script).
