Misleading error message on archive to read-only device

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When attempting to use the archive feature to copy the backup file to a
nonexistent folder on a read-only device, like a CD, Snap Backup provides
the option to create the missing folder.  Because the device is read-only,
the folder creation fails.

However, the error message that results is misleading.

*** ERROR #5 ~ Folder missing for archive file

While it's true that the folder is missing (since it was never created), it
is confusing to see that error message instead of something about not being
able to create the folder on a device that is read-only.
