Yes, that's because you are trying to commit to the pkg-horde
repository, to which you don't have write permission... You need to
create your own archive and work from there. See
http://www.gnuarch.org/gnuarchwiki/Quick_Introduction#head-1aebb6faf15de9b8e37fa00bcfacac4fb4b0f45c
for a guide, but here is something that should work (you may wish to
call it math.parent at gmail.com--2008 or  math.parent at gmail.com--alioth
instead of  math.parent at gmail.com--horde):

tla my-id "Mathieu PARENT <math.parent at gmail.com>"
tla make-archive math.parent at gmail.com--horde ~/public_html/arch-horde
tla branch pkg-horde-hackers at lists.alioth.debian.org--2006/horde--upstream--3 math.parent at gmail.com--horde/horde--upstream--3

Then work on your own archive; you may wish to make it the default:

tla my-default-archive math.parent at gmail.com--horde

Use star-merge to merge with pkg-horde's archive.
