You might be stuck.  Clearing the archive bit requires accessing the data at 
the file system level. NDMP is a lower level protocol that is accessing at a 
block level.

Out of curiosity, why do you need to clear the archive bit?  My experience is 
the archive bit is not very reliable for determining when a file should be 
backed up.  I always recommend using the time stamp instead.
