Aehm, you cannot just take an arbitrary file that is called "ar" and 
expect it to be the ar(1) program, which is an archive manager. In your 
case, the file /opt/csw/share/locale/ar is even likely to be a 
directory, the one holding the locale information for Argentinian 
environments.

You really have to install /usr/ccs/bin/ar.
