This would be likely to cause conflicts for the Maven process as it
executes, and the format of the local and remote repositories are
different.
While it's not ideal, you are best to utilise the purge features of
both Continuum and Archiva to keep the local and snapshot repos trim
so that duplication is at a minimum.
Hopefully future versions of Maven will better support this within the
local repository (I have a proposal prepared for this already).
