anyway, just to register here, there are two apps you may try to use for backup in a simpler way.
aptbackup - it's free, but all it does is generate a list that's supposedly saved with itunes sync and recovered later for auto-installation on cydia.
pkgbackup - paid/crackware, fool itunes to sync cydia apps together, making everything easier.
and good luck on your other quest, in case you want to keep on it.
