Yes, I was able to find the files and move them where they needed to go. Of course, with my second mistake with rm -r, which luckily I quickly realized before erasing too much, I still lost some files from /SRC, but other than that, problem is now solved. >From another recent thread, I am never going to use tar for this, dump/restore seems to be the best way.
