Works like a charm. Thanks!

Now on to the fancier stuff, as in:

(setq org-archive-location (concat "~/archive/" (format-time-string "%Y-%m") ".org::"))

I thought I had read the documentation carefully, but obviously I
hadn't read it carefully enough. My apologies.

I believe the "otherwise" in the documentation that Nick mentioned
threw me off. I assumed (erroneously) that one could use *either* a
simple path *or* a string consisting of path - double colon -
headline.
