There's no src_dir in your /path/to/repo dir. It needs to be there if
you want it controlled by the arch repo in /path/to/repo. I.e. add
doesn't put files into your repository, it prepares darcs to record
changes made within your repository.
You might think of it as adding control of a file that already exists
within your repository directory.
