What errors or behavior are you seeing?  Using a '.' or '/' doesn't matter in 
my experience on Linux, as you're specifying a path or filename to restore.  
('.' means "the current directory", which would be relative to the share 
specified.)

-s is technically not a folder, it's the *share* name.  If you are backing up 
(on Linux) /, /boot, /usr and /home (listed as separate shares in the config), 
and you want to restore Fred Fish's directory "foo" from his home directory 
(which is /home/fredfish), your command would look like this:

Backuppc_tarCreate -h oden -n -1 -s /home fredfish/foo > restore.tar

If you're just backing up one large share, "/" (the root filesystem that 
contains everything on Linux), your command would look like this...

Backuppc_tarCreate -h oden -n -1 -s / home/fredfish/foo > restore.tar

Add a -l to the command to just list the matched filenames... what does it 
return?

(I do restores from the command-line all the time, using netcat to stream 
directly to the target machine.)
