Cannot cull archive newer than one day

Hi,

I've set ctfile_cull_keep_days to zero to remove an archive created today.
All I get is "ctfile_cull_keep_days: Missing configuration value".
The error message is misleading, since I did specify the config value, and I think it should also work with zero. Otherwise I'd have to wait one day to be able to remove archives (I will try that tomorrow and see if it works).
And the exit code of ctctl is zero - I expected it to be non-zero on errors.

Today I set the ctfile_cull_keep_days to "1" and it fails with "All ctfiles are old and would be deleted, aborting."
So I can never remove this archive, or is there another method to delete archives?

You can delete any archive with:

ct -me <archive_name>.ct

With pattern as well; manpage:

-e      Delete remote ctfiles matching pattern from the server.  This option is used in conjunction with -m.
