If I understand correctly what you need you have to set the columns field on bottom of the dialog to 3, on the Shift tab set shift X per column to -100 and on the rotation tab angle per column 120. To erase any previous settings click reset before making the changes you need. That way you get the three arrows but they end up centerd on the first one. I believe there is no way to change the center of rotation on 0.45.1 so you have to palce them where you want. Hope it helps, I know it's easy to get lost on the Tiled Clones dialog but I love the power it gives you to create a lot of thing.

I'm trying to do what should be a simple cloning job and I don't understand the tiled clones dialogue.
I need to do something similar to the twelve-stars-in-a-circle described in the Tricks subsection of the Tiling section of the user manual.
I need to do the following:
I have a circle. Inside the circle I draw an arrow, with the blunt end of the arrow just below the center of the circle and the pointed end of the arrow near the perimeter of the circle, so that the arrow is pointing straight down.
I need to clone the arrow twice, so that the final result is three arrows radiating from the center of the circle, evenly spaced at 120 degrees.
