Only simple commands cause the shell to exit on error with -e. But the
commands in the function archive_item are part of a && list.
`-e'
Exit immediately if a simple command (*note Simple
Commands::) exits with a non-zero status, unless the command
that fails is part of the command list immediately following
a `while' or `until' keyword, part of the test in an `if'
statement, part of a `&&' or `||' list, or if the command's
return status is being inverted using `!'. A trap on `ERR',
if set, is executed before the shell exits.
