I found this message in my alert.log:
ARC0: Beginning to archive log# 3 seq# 115
ARC0: Error 19504 creating archivelog file 'D:\ORA8I\DATABASE\TERRI\LOGS\ARC00115.001'
ARC0: Archiving not possible: error count exceeded
I've checked for space, and that definitely is not the problem, can anyone explain what could be causing this error?

What are your log_archive_ parameters in your initSID.ora file?
Also, Have you tried copying a file (outside of Oracle) to the log archive destination? Try copying an old archivelog to a new name to assure the same size file can be written to the disk.
Here are my init parameters:
log_archive_start = true
log_archive_dest = 'D:\ora8i\Database\terri\logs'
log_archive_format: Arch-%t-%S.arc
log_archive_duplex_dest = 'D:\Ora8i\Mirroredfiles'
log_archive_min_succeed_dest = 2
Also, I tried your suggestion - I was able to copy another file to the log archive destination with no trouble. Any other ideas?

Is there a arc???.trc file in your bdump directory, relating to this error?
One quick thought is to get rid of the "-" in the format, try using an "_" underscore instead. Bounce the database to get the change to take effect.
The reason is the warning message indicates
'D:\ORA8I\DATABASE\TERRI\LOGS\ARC00115.001
and your format
says
Arch-%t-%S.arc
Which does not make since, since this format is not formating correctly. Note that it says ARC and not Arch, let alone, it is not using the dashes and where did the '.' come from after the 115. Something is not right with the format. Try simplifying the format to
arch_%t_%s.arc
