I'm not sure that I understand how I would know which digests are associated 
with a file that I was searching for. This, for example, is a typical result:
    $ ./BackupPC_zcat /srv/backuppc/cpool/aa/aa/abaa09668efeb993980a19a1f83e52ad
    VSS
        Detector.so̭�������   ���>%���=��{~�晇$
I assume that this is one chunk of a file named Detector.so, but clearly not 
the way to find and recreate all of the chunks of that file.

To repeat, what I *think* I need to do is to recreate the pool from the cpool 
as the first step in order to be able to find a file named, for example, 
"/home/common/data/tunes/A/Allman Brothers/Allman Brothers Band/Dreams.mp3" on 
a specific host. Is there a BackupPC_? script/function/setting/whatever to do 
that?

Much thanx for your continued help!

You can use BackupPC_zcat - just give it the digest directly.  For
example to cat a more or less random file here, logged in as the
backuppc user:

$ BackupPC_zcat 4b54f2036a7908351ea9e5e94e3b4c87 | head
module TZInfo
   module Definitions
     module Asia
       module Bishkek
         include TimezoneDefinition

         timezone 'Asia/Bishkek' do |tz|
           tz.offset :o0, 17904, 0, :LMT
           tz.offset :o1, 18000, 0, :FRUT
           tz.offset :o2, 21600, 0, :FRUT
$
