Sounds as if she is as awkward as hell.  If she can't direct you as to what she wants, how on earth are you supposed to manufacture it?

I really do despair of these people and wonder how they are in the positions they are in.  

The job you are working on regarding the filing and archiving sounds pretty boring and pointless.  I mean I archived maybe once a year.  How long is the project expected to last?

Yes you are still fairly new but there has to be directive, guidance, tasks set etc.  Actually the job I got made redundant from, one of my directors started off like that with me.....what was I working on, progress etc.  He was not my line manager but equal to the other director I worked for who never asked what I was doing or what I was working on.  It was weird.  In the end, there was nothing to tell him because I more or less had a job finished before he knew it was started, so what did it matter if it wasn't for him?

Can you ask why she reacts to you in the way that she does?  Can you ask her what she wants to see eg. what paperwork does she want you to produce?

I understand your frustration but it sounds like boss is the root of it.
