this should really have been a new post, so that should anyone find a solution for you you could mark it as such.
Anyway, have had a look at the command & tried it on our system. First thing I will say (well actually it's the second thing, but who's counting!) is that I have no idea what the -E & -X options are in the command you supplied - they certainly don't appear to be in in the man page nor usage:
USAGE: bplist [-A | -B] [-C client] [-S master_server]
[-t policy_type] [-k policy] [-keyword "keyword phrase"]
[-F] [-R [n]] [-b | -c | -u] [-l] [-Listpolicy] [-Listseconds]
[-r] [-T] [-I] [-PI] [-unix_files | -nt_files] [-flops file_options]
[-granular_proxy granular_proxy_client] [-s mm/dd/yyyy [HH:MM:SS]] [-e mm/dd/yyyy [HH:MM:SS]] [filename]
These are the results I got:
# bplist -E -C my2000client -k my2000policy -t 13 -X -s 0 -X -e 1270802628 -l "/System_State/Registry/system"
EXIT STATUS 227: no entity was found
But I know the 'essence' of the command is correct - I started with a cut down version that worked & then added the options & changed some parameters until it failed as above.
So, trying this command again, but cutting down the path:
# bplist -E -C my2000client -k my2000policy -t 13 -X -s 0 -X -e 1270802628 -l "/System_State/Registry"
drwx------ root root 0 Apr 08 19:04 /System_State/Registry/
drwx------ root root 0 Apr 07 19:04 /System_State/Registry/
etc etc etc
drwx------ root root 0 Apr 25 2009 /System_State/Registry/
#
So the command
does work but nothing for the path "/System_State/Registry/system"
Pauses for breath as I've just discovered something when looking in the Backup, Archive & Restore GUI .......
So I've gone through
all this testing &
do you know why it fails? (Obviously not as you asked the question!)
........
because it's
case sensitive & system doesn't exist it's actually
System!!!!
# bplist -E -C my2000client -k my2000policy -t 13 -X -s 0 -X -e 1270802628 -l "/System_State/Registry/System"
-rwx------ root root 3117056 Apr 08 19:05 /System_State/Registry/System
-rwx------ root root 3117056 Apr 07 19:04 /System_State/Registry/System
etc etc etc
