When DOUT_S_SAVE_INTERIM_RESTART_FILES=True, the short-term archiver moves all rpointer files out of RUNDIR into the archive (e.g., $DOUT_S_ROOT/rest/YYYY-MM-DD-SSSSS/). On the next run segment, buildnml fails with:

Possible root cause
The <rpointer_file> entry in config_archive.xml was missing .$DATENAME.
