If you feel comfortable meddling directly with your galaxy database, the 
following query will give you the dataset file numbers for each dataset in a 
given history.

========
select
 dataset.id as "DatasetFileNumber",
 lpad(trunc(dataset.id/1000), 3, '0') as "Directory", 
 'dataset_' || dataset.id || '.dat' as "Filename",
 history_dataset_association.hid as "Dataset Number in History",
 history_dataset_association.name as "Dataset Name"
from 
 history,
 galaxy_user,
 history_dataset_association,
 dataset
where
 dataset.id = history_dataset_association.dataset_id
 and
 history.id = history_dataset_association.history_id
 and
 history.user_id = galaxy_user.id
 and
 galaxy_user.email = 'gor...@cshl.edu'
 and
 history.name = 'K9981_het'
order by
 history_dataset_association.hid
=======

Just change the "history.name" and the "galaxy_user.email" in the query to get 
the correct history (assuming your histories' names are unique).

This SQL is for PostgreSQL, but MySQL  should be similar.

The first column (DatasetFileNumber) is the file associated with the galaxy 
dataset (e.g. 2456)
The second is the directory (e.g. "002" for dataset 2456),
The third is the file name (e.g. "dataset_2456.dat").

A simple shell script should be able to construct the correct path.
Note that for datasets larger than 100,000 there's going to be an extra 
directory of "000/" (e.g. "000/101/dataset_101123.dat").

As always, direct database access is never recommended...

hope this helps,
