Indeed they were marked as system files. I have no idea how they got
that way. I did two restores, one from a full, and one from a
differential, and the one from the full always came up marked as a
System file. I repeated it three times, almost running out the disk
before I caught on.
The differential restore of the same folders had no such problem.
The files backed up were at no time ever marked as system files. Some
parts of them may have been hidden, but never marked as system files.
I will be trying to reproduce this.

I doubt that it's a corrupted file system, it's merely hidden directories.
If you go into windows explorer and change the settings so it shows you
Hidden, System, Operating System, etc files you should now be able to see
those dirs from windows explorer. I don't think that will affect the
command prompt behavior that you've found but that behavior is not unusual
for when directories are marked System or Hidden.

Apparently I need to do much more comprehensive restore testing, because
when I need, it my bacula installation has fallen down around me. This
is just the worst of several problems I will be reporting.
First, I ran a restore. The original client is a now-dead XP box, the
target client is a new XP box:
The log indicates success.

It reported success. I watched bacula-fd with procmon (from sysinternals.com)
because I simply could not believe the results I was getting. I had specified
where=/tmpr2, and I watched it restore the 1,688 files with procmon. Now look
what I see:

It looks for all the world like bacula-fd (3.0.1 from the sourceforge
site) has silently corrupted this NTFS file system. Can anyone one else
suggest what might be happening?
I tried it on a different client with the 2.2.6 client and it appears to
have worked normally. Any advice?
The original backup was probably done with a 2.* client
