Hmmm, interesting. I tried that using "09-10-2008" as the time for both -t and 
--restore-time
together with --list-current-files but I'm still seeing files from yesterdays 
backup on the 11th
too :-(

If we could list what files were available from a specific timeslot then the 
size would be a handy
additional feature to have too!

Are you talking about the "collection-status" command? It can give you a list 
as follows:

Found a complete backup chain with matching signature chain:
-------------------------
Chain start time: Thu Oct  9 21:20:48 2008
Chain end time: Sun Oct 12 00:07:45 2008
Number of contained backup sets: 3
Total number of contained volumes: 14
 Type of backup set:                            Time:      Num volumes:
                Full         Thu Oct  9 21:20:48 2008                12
         Incremental         Sat Oct 11 00:13:16 2008                 1
         Incremental         Sun Oct 12 00:07:45 2008                 1
-------------------------
No orphaned or incomplete backup sets found.

That's the only way I know of getting a list of current backups in the system.
