I suggest you prepend "echo" to the dar command to see what is the
result of the shell expansion:

echo dar -m 256...

you should see the "/srv/back-rsync/viavi/archive" string not introduced
by any option (thus assumed to be a user target, where from the error
message).

This may also come from your ~/.darrc or /etc/darrc thus as second step
I would add -v as first option to dar (without "echo" this time) if the
previous test could not explain the problem.

Don't hesitate to produce the output of these commands if don't find the
typo.
