architecture and targetdirectory are needed paramteres. Architecture can either be i686 or x86_64. Target directory can be any directory, it will be created by archbootstrap-ee.
Additional usage
Mirror
By default, archbootstrap-ee uses ftp.archlinux.org to retrieve the needed packages. You can change it to any other, but you have to escape it.
ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
would turn into
ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux/\$repo/os/$TARCH
$TARCH will be set by archbootstrap-ee, $repo is used by pacman.
Package cache
The archbootstrap-ee package will create an additional directory containing the cached packages. If you are on x86_64, /var/cache/pacman/pkg32 will be created and vice versa. You can change the cache to any directory.
