Compiling Xfce

[Brian J. Tarricone]

looks like you have a space in the path name where you have the sources 
checked out, and the filenames aren't being escaped and thus 'ar' thinks 
the file it's trying to operate on is "/root/Documents/xfce" (because 
right after that is a space which the shell is interpreting as the end 
of the argument).  try renaming the "xfce cvs" dir to something like 
"xfce-cvs" and try again.  (you will probably need to rerun configure, 
possibly autogen.sh as well).
