No archive cleaning

[Peer]

I use several Profiles with smart archiving checked, but I still have too many copies of one file in my archive directory. For instance 21 copies of the same files changed in july 2007. Now it's december 2007 so I expect only 1 copy from that month.
ViceVersa never seems to clean my archives. The word "clean" never shows in tne logs.
Please, help me.
I use ViceVersa Pro 2 (build 2014) and VVEngine 1.1 (SN5).

Looks like ViceVersa is checking the archive folder:

-- Checking archive folder ...

But does not remove the files you expect from the archive.

Does it remove more recent files, e.g. multiple copies in the current month / week?

thanks!
