Resolution
recover -iN -s networkerserver -c sourceclient -R destinationclient
The above command produces an interactive shell. You can type help while inside the prompt and it tells you how to use it.
You can cd into the path that you want and the files you want to recover, change the target path as required.
Another work around is to use the NetWorker User interface which will eventually display the contents of the saveset for recovery.
