Up-date on recovery process, The Titanium idea didn't work, it came up with an error (forgot to note it) soon after starting. The file I want is the only one giving me a hard time as I am able to restore any others.
I created a new user account and switched to it, I then mounted another external disk and copied the offending Aperture Library from the TimeMachine to it (which is progressing ever so slowly), I expect I will eventually be able to copy it to my normal user account.
