Description
When attempting to use -i DB.TABLE, we get "Error: Archive file had no files" consistently.
Using -i DB works fine.
$ python3 _dump.py -e test.marvel -f marv.tar.gz
NOTE: 'rethinkdb-dump' saves data, secondary indexes, and write hooks, but does *not* save
cluster metadata. You will need to recreate your cluster setup yourself after
you run 'rethinkdb-restore'.

System info
I ran this on Ubuntu 22.04 with the tip of the rethinkdb-python repository and v2.4.x.
A user on Slack encountered this problem with some other versions.
