Hi Mattias, This looks like a bug I've introduced with the nesting of task directories. Tasks directories are related the the distributed build support that vpbmaster provides, as it splits the build into a series of tasks, each tasks writes to its own directory. osgdem also has this support as it's the tool that is invoked by vpbmaster to run each task.
For the distributed build support I haven't yet done any work on compatibility with using archives. It should be possible at the task level, but not for the whole build. With big vpbmaster builds you might be outputting several terrabytes of data so it doesn't make it a good candidate for placing in an archive. The threading issues with writing to a shared archive file mean that generating a single archive is impractical. For much of the past year I've been working on this distributed build/large scale database build support, some old features haven't been tested in this new work, archive support being one of them. This is one area I need to do futher work on. For the time being I'd recommend not using archive support in osgdem and instead place databases in their own directory to make it easier to manage, i.e. osgdem ..... -o earth/earth.ive When it builds all the extra directories will be safely nested away in the earth directory and you can just treat the whole data as a single entity.
