This really sounds like a generic error. Except that I have no idea what
the "t" flag for the open command is, neither the python documentation
nor "man fopen" know any "t" value. Try to remove that and see if it
goes any further?

Can anyone enlighten me if "t" is a valid flag at all?

Also is there a leftover file at 
/home/josh/.offlineimap/Account-Main/LocalStatus/archive-2011-01.tmp ?

Try to delete that one.

It is. (master), isn't it?
