Both 'bplist' and 'bpflist' can provide a list of filenames from the
catalog image.  The query methods of each are somewhat different.  

'bplist' takes information similar to 'bpimagelist'.  You'll probably
want to ask for '/' and use -R to get all the files underneath.

'bpflist' is a bit more annyoing with needing options listed that appear
to be optional (and it doesn't provide an error message), but it can
query a particular backup image which 'bplist' doesn't do.
