If you only need to unrar files, there is a package called unrar that has native support.

I would run wine from a terminal to get more verbose output.

I think etch will be coming to EOL soon and you might have better luck with wine in lenny as it will be a newer version.

I've never had a problem with unrar, though I rarely have a need for it, even for those rars that are split up into multiple files. I'm not sure what version of wine is used on etch, but its probably really old and there's a chance the app you want to use will not run on it (it may not run on the current version for that matter). I would check WineHQ - Wine Application Database and see what the deal is there.
