I was able to pull everything out into a single directory with filenames 
corresponding to their vnodes using a tool named afsdump_extract 
(afsdump_extract vol.dump dest/ -v -i).  You can get a copy of it here:  
/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/systems-jhutz/dumpscan (Precompiled linux 
version in the LINUX subdir).

Unfortunately this won't work for me as it's more than a few files I'll 
need.

Good Luck,
