Partial Success

Log Explorer from Lumigent absolutely rocks. I was able to view the three
major delete transactions, generate sql scripts for them, and run them on
the db. I've now got files back in sharepoint.
The sharepoint strucure does not look like the users are saying it should,
so I'm either executing the scripts in the wrong order or they're not
shooting me straight. But I can deal with that. ;-)
Thanks a million for all of your help.

I'm happy for you, Jack. :-)
I'm also a bit surprised that the transaction still existed in the log. Either you were *very* lucky
that the log records are still around. Or, a db backup was actually taken of the database at some
point in time. In any case, I have a feeling that you will look over your backup strategy now... :-)
