I'm loosing it here Les :( OK, if I understood what you meant correctly, 
something like:

/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zipCreate -c 4 -h fshac1 -n 530 -s 
/home/hefinw > /backup/hefin.zip

should work. Given the location of the directory 
(/backup/data/pc/fshac1/530/f%2fhome/fhefinw)

-h fshac1 = the BackupPC host
-n 530 = the backup no
-s /home/hefinw = the 'share' on the host
-c 4 = the compression level used when the backup was created

When I run the above command I simply get a 'usage' message! I've tried all 
sorts of variations (fhefinw etc etc) but without any greater success.

Very frustrating. 12.15am. Time for bed I think.

"share" is the name it had in the backuppc configuration.  With smb or rsyncd, 
it would be the name of the network share or module . With tar or rsync it 
would 
be the top directory of the tree for the run - if you only had one for the host 
  it might be '/'.
