I don't think it is from auctare but is rather the past participial form of augeo. Cf passage from Clodius Albinus:

Quae familia hodie quoque, Constantine maxime, nobilissima est et per te aucta et augenda...

Maybe you're right - that's still along what I figured out the sentence means. I give demorat watcher an "F" for his creative translation.
