Analyzer CLI won't work with cygwin (sometimes)
I prefer to use bash for my scripting, but I don't have a non-Windows box in the management network for my Clariions. I have usually simply used cygwin to allow this. Most naviseccli commands work just fine under cygwin. I can retrieve .nar files easily. However, I can't create dump files from those .nar files using cygwin:
manast@server304 ~
$ naviseccli -h array5002 analyzer -archivedump -data array5002.latest.nar -out array5002.latest-bash.csv
Error deleting file!
The archive file format is invalid
Not a valid archive file.
manast@server304 ~
$ ls -lart
total 53917
-rwxr-xr-x 1 manast None 3754 2010-03-05 18:56 .bashrc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 manast None 1461 2010-03-05 18:56 .inputrc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 manast None 1150 2010-03-05 18:56 .bash_profile
drwxrwxrwt+ 1 EMC Administrators 0 2010-06-08 16:25 ..

-rwxrwxrwx 1 manast None 0 2010-06-08 17:58 nar2
drwxrwxrwx+ 1 manast None 0 2010-06-08 17:58 .
The one in the directory which did work I executed from a Windows CMD prompt.
Is there some trick I'm missing here?

odd, i just tried it on my machine and it worked fine. The nar file is saved locally before i execute the command
uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.0-WOW64 my-workstation 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-07 11:48 i686 Cygwin

Interesting. I've tried this on two separate machines, both with the same results. I'm willing to believe it's something weird in my environment, and I'll even change it if I can just figure out what it is.
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.2 server304 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-07 11:48 i686 Cygwin

CYGWIN_NT-5.2 ecc 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin
I am running navi 6.28.

Yes, I tried it on my laptop last night and it works just fine. So clearly there's something up with the servers in the storage environment, but I don't even know where to start looking.
I was hoping not to have to run everything from my laptop (especially since I have to copy the .nar files to it via RDP, so not automated), but at least that's a workaround for now.
Thanks.

can you run ENV and set .. see if anything jumps out at you ..in terms of being different.

When checking out the environment, look at the PATH setting. If the cygwin settings come first, there may be a conflict. Try moving the cygwin components to the end of the PATH. I don't know about analyzer, but I have seen conflicts with perl.exe, ld.exe, as well as things like zip.exe.

Well...
If I run the same command using the same NaviCLI but under a Windows CMD.EXE prompt, it works just fine. So I don't think it's necessarily a problem with a NaviCLI mismatch. I think it's something to do with cygwin and possibly something with java.
To the other replies: I have been working on eliminating any possible environment variables or other variables that may be affecting this, but with no luck so far. I appreciate the ideas, though.

The version of Navisphere CLI and Analyzer CLI must match the version of FLARE on the array that the Archive came from.
Error deleting file!
The archive file format is invalid
Not a valid archive file.
This usually indicates an vesrion mismatch. It can also mean that the file is bad - can you open this file in Navisphere?
