[chord] Newbie question -- sample for store & retrieve

I have a newish snapshot of chord (chord-0.1-20071018.tar.bz2) compiled 
and running (w/sfslite-0.8.16).  My server commands are started via:

/root/new_download/chord-0.1/lsd/start-dhash --root dhash-a -j 
test1.local.net:20000 -p 20000

My client (hostname "test2") commands are started via:

/root/new_download/chord-0.1/lsd/start-dhash --root dhash-a -S 
/tmp/chord-sock -v 16 -j test1.local.net:20000

It appears I can insert a file:

tools/filestore /tmp/chord-sock -s ~sfs/a.txt 1

What I don't understand is how the client "retrieves" the file.  Reading 
through the mailing list, it appears the command is

tools/filestore /tmp/chord-sock -l <dhash> 1

but this simply says:

/home/sfs/a.txt: 20 bytes

What is/are the method(s) for retrieving something once it's stored?

Thank you --mds
