PLease look at the following :

-a, --add [archive name]                                    Add files to 
the specified archive by asking their filenames and quits.

-n, --new [file1]  [file2] [fileN] ...                           Prompt for the archive name to create, and add files in this new archive.

These 2 options are totally different : 
The former (add) want an archive name from the command line, and prompt for files to add. 
The second (my new one) want the list of files to add from the command line, and will prompt for the name of the archive.

The former is useful to add files in an existing archive, and (mostly) useless to create an archive, ..., the second has the opposite usage 

Cheers ;)

-n, --new [file1]  [file2] [fileN] ...                           Prompt
for the archive name to create, and add files in this new archive.
