Fully qualify the name of the zip file that you want to create and the file that you want to add to it. A STAF service request runs within the STAFProc environment, not within the environment from which you are submitting the request. For example:
# STAF local ZIP ADD ZIPFILE /tmp/foo.zip FILE /tmp/server.log
Response
--------
# STAF local ZIP LIST ZIPFILE /tmp/foo.zip
Response
--------
Length Method Size Ratio Date Time CRC-32 Name
------- ------ ------- ----- -------- ----- -------- --------------
2321 Defl:X 868 37% 03-15-16 08:25 d93eedcb tmp/server.log
#
Or you may want to specify the RELATIVETO option. For example:
# STAF local ZIP ADD ZIPFILE /tmp/foo.zip FILE /tmp/server.log RELATIVETO /tmp
Response
--------
# STAF local ZIP LIST ZIPFILE /tmp/foo.zip
Response
--------
Length Method Size Ratio Date Time CRC-32 Name
------- ------ ------- ----- -------- ----- -------- ----------
2321 Defl:X 868 37% 03-15-16 08:25 d93eedcb server.log

ZIPFILE contains the fully qualified name of a Zip archive file. If the Zip archive file does not exist, it will be created, but the directory path specified for it must already exist.
FILE contains the fully qualified file name you want to add into the ZIP archive.
RELATIVETO contains the prefix to be excluded from the fully qualified file name or directory name that is to be added into the ZIP archive.

Thank you for the prompt and complete reply! This worked, of course. RTFM always helps; I did try that but the significance of the phrase "fully qualified name of a Zip file" slipped past me the first time. :-)

I'm trying out the STAF ZIP service for the first time on Linux, and running into a basic error I don't understand.
Let's start with /tmp as the working directory to ensure STAFProc has write permission to the working directory:
ls -l /
(irreleveant stuff omitted)
drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 12288 Mar 15 08:52 tmp
Then try to use STAF to create a ZIP file:
STAF local ZIP ADD ZIPFILE foo.zip FILE server.log
Error submitting request, RC: 4001
Additional info
STAFZipFile::STAFZipFile: Can't create file [foo.zip].
I'm very puzzled by this. I know the ZIP service is registered

and my machine trusts itself with trust level 5. The working directory is world-writeable.
So what could be the problem? There's probably something obvious (to others).
Thanks,

See section "8.22.4 ADD (aka ZIP)" in the STAF User's Guide at http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDRZIPSRV which describes the ZIP service's ADD request's options as follows and provides examples:
