 Why bscan? You're trying to restore the last database backup, not to 
 rebuild the database from the archives.

 If you have the bootstrap file of the last db backup, and the backup 
 volume itself, you can simply restore the database dump file with 
 bextract; then you just need to reload the file using mysql and you're 
 good to go.

 If you also lost the db backup volumes, then you must use bscan -- but 
 in that case you have no use for bootstrap files.
