You are changing so much (why ?) in a seemingly random order that I'd 
suggest starting over.

   - take your working database and make a copy
   - drop daily on the copy
   - rebuild daily on the copy
   - it should work


If you just want to start over completely, dump your archive table only and 
restore it to a new db name.  Then run rebuild-daily against that.  That 
should definitely work unless you somehow messed up the schema in all your 
fiddling around.

Make one change at a time.
