Jeff, The first method seems simpler. Don't you just have to mv the file based on BackupPC_zcat file | md5sum? BackupPC_nightly shouldn't need to run (other than to check you no longer get the missing error).
Btw, where did you find the missing pool files? For the benefit of people on the list, Jeff and I are addressing the other issues off-list.
