Interestingly, I tried Martin's suggestion of using a bootstrap file. I
defined two parameters: Volume name = volname and Count = 1.  My
understanding was that once the number of restored files hit the Count value
bextract would stop. This wasn't the case.  I also used an include-list file
when running bextract so there may be a clash when using -b and -i
command-line options. I wasn't able to provide all the parameters to use
just a bootstrap file. 

Details are:
bextract -b bootstrap-file -i include-list -V TAPE_04 /dev/nst0
/mnt/restores

include-list file contents:
/Backups/VM09_Full_backup.vbk

bootstrap-file file contents:
Volume = TAPE_04
Count = 1

In the end I used the interrupt approach -- once the first file was restored
I interrupted the bextract process before it got to the second occurrence of
the file. Ironically this is the only tape in the entire monthly backup set
that includes the same file twice!
