It is impossible using bextract on unix.
The best way is to use bscan to put the jobs back into the catalog and then
restore them as normal. With Bacula 2.x, you can probably do the restore on
unix to get the main data stream in the file.
You could also try the latest winbacula beta, which I think contains
bextract.exe that will work on Windows.
