Even if /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords directory is exists, tatt wants to write file '/etc/portage/package.keywords/archtest'. I think that this should be fixed...

That is not entirely correct.  You can specify what your file to unmask packages should be via:

unmaskfile=your_file

in ~/.tatt.  Unfortunately this feature was undocumented :( 
The default value is /etc/portage/package.keywords/archtest.  
I also added a check if the configured file can be created if not existent.
