I use this method for a "backup checker" that polls the catalog to see
what's been backed up. Yeah a lot of work to create, but can be
powerful.
I'll fill in a couple of bits on my use of bpflist.

One thing about bpflist. Once you have the backupid, you don't need the
dates (or the policy). It makes you give a date argument, but you could
just toss in a random date in the past.
Also, I guess I'm just lucky, but when I look at my images via bpflist,
the top of the tree for all my devices is always the first entry. So I
just read the first entry and toss the rest. So far so good on NBU
standard clients and on Netapp NDMP jobs.
Only thing it doesn't work on in my environment is an Isilon filesystem.
That one doesn't necessarily record a file for the top of the tree on an
incr. The file list only shows changed files which may be a couple of
levels below the requested point.

Note that you've asked for all those files with the -rl 9 on your
command. You could also run the command with -rl 1, -rl 2, ... until
something pops out. I'm not sure that's any easier than postprocessing
the output, though.
If these are all standard backups, the -option FILESYSTEM_ONLY should
help isolate them. But that option doesn't seem to help me with my NDMP
backups. I still see all the files/dirs.
